I had Exchange Server 2003 Standard running on Server 2003.  Our server ran
out of space.  The only solution, according to the "experts" was to upgrade
to the Enterprise edition.  We upgraded and now it reboots itself on average
about twice a day.  Nothing in the event log.  Any ideas how to fix it.

Do you mean you hit the 16GB limit on the stores or that your hard drives
filled up?

Did the actual DISK run out of space, or did you hit the 16 gb limit?

If you hit the 16gb limit, install Exchange 2003 SP2.   If you cannot do
that for some reason:

1) Dismount the store and perform an offline defragmentation - and have
users archive out their old e-mail to PSTs

2) 1. Click Start, click Run, and then type regedt32.exe.
2. Locate the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\<Exchange
Server Name>\Private-<long hexadecimal string>
3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then type the following in the
Value name box: Temporary DB Size Limit Extension
4. Select REG_DWORD for the data type, and then click OK.
5. Enter a value of 1, and then click OK.
6. Quit Registry Editor.
