If your taking about this BES size itself its footprint is rather small - and actually should be the same whether you have 1 or 10,000 users. It just parses information stored in SQL and Exchange. I think my BES including OS and updates is 11gb, and my vm partition is dynamically expanding - but hasn't in years. I don't know as far as SQL goes - I think its around 45 gb now - but that is also in a different local VM blade environment with iSCSI SAN storage. -------------------------- Sent using BlackBerry

Thanks, Yury From: bes-admins-boun...@dataoutages.com [mailto:bes-admins-boun...@dataoutages.com] On Behalf Of Moller, Doreen Sent: Monday, August 17, 2009 3:30 PM To: A list for BES Admin's to discuss issues,etc. Subject: [Bes-admins] Need Help Sizing a BES 4.1.6 Server I am building a new 4.1.6 BES server for an Exchange 2003 environment. The database will be placed on a SQL server 2005 farm and will not be local to the machine. Can anyone give me a rule of thumb on how to size the partitions. Will I need a separate data volume for log files or will all of those be on the SQL farm. I am trying to size the server for about 400 European users. Thanks!
