If anything, We just did a 2003 upgrade of our DIT with live data in the lab.
We did an upgrade of 2003, and then Compact in NTDSUTIL in 2 seperate domains: Went from 2.68gig to 1.1gb Went from 1.0gb to 890mb Also, removing the ADM templates from all but the PDCE, we went from a SYSVOL of 378mb to 78mb :) We still have morphs to clean up, but the process we have working in lab looks very promising. :) J Original Message: >From: "joe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] 2003 NTDS.DIT size >Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2004 20:51:28 -0500 >You probably should actually see a decrease in size simply from the new ACL >storage alone. > >It is easy enough to prove out in the lab though.
