Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 will reach end of support on April 11, 2017. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.

 

Applies to: Exchange Server 2007

A storage group is a set of databases that share a common set of transaction log files. We recommend that you add an additional storage group for each new database until the maximum number of databases that can be mounted simultaneously has been created. For more information about managing storage groups, see Managing Storage Groups and Databases.

The Database Management tab in the work pane lists all the storage groups and databases that exist on the selected server. When you select a storage group, the following storage group-specific actions are available either by right-clicking the storage group name or by using the action pane.

Note

To modify how server configuration objects are displayed in Microsoft Management Console (MMC), click View in the action pane. For more information about view options, see Server Configuration (RTM).
