SUMMARY
This article describes how to determine if the information store is limited or unlimited. A new uneditable attribute called &quot;Type&quot;, which is encoded, determines if the store is limited or not.



MORE INFORMATION
To distinguish between Exchange 2000 Standard Edition (limited information store) and Exchange 2000 Enterprise Edition (unlimited information store), check the Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Event Viewer Application event log when you start Exchange 2000. When the information store starts on a computer running Exchange 2000 Standard Edition, the following event ID message is logged in the Application event log:

Event ID 1216

Source: MSExchangeIS Private

Type: Information

Category: General

Description: The information store database &quot; \ &quot; has limited storage capacity enabled.

When the information store starts on a computer running Exchange 2000 Enterprise Edition, the following event ID message is logged in the Application event log:

Event ID: 1217

Source: MSExchangeIS

Type: Information

Category: General

Description: The information store database &quot; \ &quot; has unlimited capacity enabled.

To change the Type attribute, run Setup.exe from an Enterprise Edition CD-ROM (Srvmax.exe if you are using a Select CD-ROM), and then click Reinstall. When you do so, you create an unlimited store.

NOTE: You need to reapply the last Exchange 2000 service pack that was applied to the server before reinstallation after the you reinstall the program.
