Hi, You can only have multiple storage groups on an exchange enterprise edition server (where you can have 4 storage groups each with 5 databases). In an standard edition exchange server there can be only one storage group consisting of 2 databases - one for public folders and one for mailboxes. A storage group is simply a collection of exchange databases sharing one set of transaction logs.
