That counter is known to be imprecise. I wouldn't put any faith in it.
The 1221 daily event log entry is more relevant (when compared to the total size of the physical store and the total size of mailboxes when added together). Regards, Michael B.

I can't seem to find this in my logs. Thanks, Larry From: Matt Lathrum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Jul 31, 2008 3:44 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Mailbox Manager stats Ok, let's home my math is correct :) Exchange adds an event to the event log with your SIS ratio after a nightly maintenance run completes. You could get an average of an SIS ratio across the stores of your server and then divide that by your report result. So, if your SIS ratio averages out to 1.5 and your result is 215,740mb, the result is 215,740 - 143,826mb = 71,913mb removed. Now, that will only convert to whitespace and won't actually reduce your store size until you do an offline defrag.

Is there a very good way then for me to find out what my store size would be after implementing the policy? Thanks, Larry From: Don Andrews [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Jul 31, 2008 2:58 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Mailbox Manager stats Yup - SIS on you pister. _____ From: Campbell, Rob [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2008 2:30 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Mailbox Manager stats Single instance storage. _____ From: TechInfo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2008 4:28 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Mailbox Manager stats We implemented an email archiving system so our next step will be to cut down email in everyone's account as they will be able to access old email from the archive. I created a recipient policy to report on how much email would be removed if I set it to delete by age. The result that came back was 215740.72MB but our store is only 204,803MB. How can it come up with a number that is larger than our entire store?
