This happened a few months ago, but I thought I should make note of it on my blog.
The program I wrote during my 3 months on the Exchange Server team Microsoft is called Routing Log Viewer. It was just released as part of SP1 of Exchange 2007. I was pleasantly surprised that the code I wrote (at least from what I can tell based on the documentation) didn’t need to be modified much after my whirlwind summer.
Here is a link to the documentation on the software:
One of my mail servers today crashed at 5:00 AM. It said the following:
Exchange store ‘First Storage Group\Mailbox Store (MERCURY)’: The logical size of this database (the logical size equals the physical size of the .edb file and the .stm file minus the logical free space in each) is 18 GB. This database size has exceeded the size limit of 18 GB.
This database will be dismounted immediately.
When the database was dismounted, all connections to Exchange from our employees running Outlook started failing. The solution was pretty easy though. All that was necessary was to add a DWORD entry to the registry.
Also, beware of your available hard drive space and your backup strategy. Our backup strategy was only able to handle a database increase up to 25 GB, so that’s what I had to set it at until I can make provisions to handle a larger database.
I am fan of Stephen Colbert’s comedy when it’s clean. However, this book had a little too much R-rated language and content for me. Stephen Colbert has a real talent for making his satire funny, but it’s sad when he feels that he has to stoop to the level of crudeness to get a laugh.
That said, here is an excerpt I really liked, and this is an example of good, clean humor that I wish he and other comedians would strive for:
“That’s what’s called the Nuclear Family. It got it’s name because it reached its peak during the early years of the Cold War when American were in immediate danger of nuclear annihilation. Back then, family members knew their roles, and nobody questioned paternal authority. After all, Dad was the one with the keys to the fallout shelter.”
And another–his suggested list of arbitrary rules for kids (to teach them discipline):
