I know this post is ancient, but your registry instructions fail to tell the user what the DWORD entry should be called. For future visitors it should be called:"Database Size Limit in Gb"

It was very weird and I got sidetracked by the fact that my own ISP was having email issues with my domain.

Great! Glad that it worked. That's why I write these fix it articles. Cuz I have been through the exact same thing and I don't want anyone else to have to go through it.

Fantastic article, thank you Michael! After wasting hours trolling countless M$ KB xxx articles, reading endless blogs and posts, I followed these steps and solved what could have become a very nasty, embarrassing problem with a new client I recently took on. (I'm not an Exchange fundi).

As I read through it, the clenched fists, tightness in my chest and grinding teeth abated and hope shone through! And it worked spot on. Thanks again, you're the best!

Your steps don't clearly explain the new entry names. Below are the steps reocmeended by MS...
Install Exchange 2003 Service Pack 2. This is essential!
Launch regedit
Navigate to HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/MSExchangeIS/<yourservername>
Under the server name there will be two folders, one called 'private', the other 'public'. Both names are followed by a long string of alphanumerics.
Highlight the private one.
Right-click it and choose NEW -> DWORD VALUE
Call it 'Database Size Limit in Gb' without the quotes. This is case sensitive and you must get it absolutely spot on or it will not work.
Double-click this new value, change the type to 'decimal' and give it any number up to 75. This is the size in Gb that you want it to be.
Repeat steps 6 to 8 for the public entry.
Restart the Exchange Information Store Service.

Don't you think you should tell readers that Event ID 1216 should be fixed? If you leave it as is readers may think that the Exchange Store database periodic dismount is expected.

It seems like a strange way to leave a "Fix It"

No Add-Click for you.
