Hi, are there any guidelines or industry best pracitce for number of mailboxes per database in a DAG under 2010? The limit is 2TB, but given the current mailbox limit is tiny, all users could be stored in a 2TB database! Surely having 2000+ users in a 2 TB database is not a good idea?
Is there a figure that better relates to real life best practice, or do mailboxes per database bear no result in a DAG as I cannot find any guidelines around this.
As an example:
- 2000 users
- Average mailbox size 100MB
- In theory that means all users could fit in a single database as it would be well under 2TB
Surely MS have some guidelines around this? 2010 has to index mailboxes and I would have thought there would be some sort of limit or advice around this? Anyone have any good links?
I keep seeing some people say keep databases under 200GB as best practice, but I would like to see some official documents if available?
Thanks
