Explanation
This Warning event indicates that the database file is growing and may exceed the maximum size that is configured in the registry. The Exchange store periodically checks any database size limits and dismounts a database when the size limit is reached.
User Action
To resolve this issue, use Registry Editor to modify a database size limit in Microsoft Exchange Server 2010. The default database size limit for Exchange 2010 Standard Edition is 1,024 gigabytes (GB). There is no default database size limit for Exchange 2010 Enterprise Edition. You can modify the database size limit by adding or changing a value in the registry. For more information about how to do this, see Modify a Database Size Limit.
