Well, No deleted items retention period is set. White space, the event log states that there is 1152 megabytes free space after online defragmentation. That leaves the resource information being notoriously inaccurate.
This doesn't even come close to what we have allocated in the DB. 25 gig reported versus 65 gig actual. -----Original Message----- From: Darcy Adams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 3:01 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Mailbox Resources and Total K column. There are some things you need to take into account: 1) Deleted items retention 2) White space - the stores grow as needed, but do not shrink. If enough data is deleted to create "space" it is left as white space unless you manually compact the database. 3) The resources information is notoriously inaccurate.

Exchange 5.5 SP3. Confused! We have about 3032 users on a system and the Private store is currently 65 Gig. I'm looking at the Mailbox Resources and tallied up the total K for all users and I came up with 25 gig for storage and an average of 32 gig per user. I would have thought that the total gig for all users would be larger than my DB size since there is single message occurrence. I must be missing something on this. The reason I'm wondering is that we are increasing everyone's quota on the servers and I'm trying to calculate worst case scenario for disk capacity.
