Dear IKM I hope I learnt the following correctly, I picked it up in tidbits of info of the Exchangelist forum. The Excel listing offers a fairly accurate view of what the users are actually consuming in terms of diskspace. Once the databases (priv1 & stm1) have grown to an amount of diskspace larger than actual consumption the system will not free the difference. Unless you want to try and run ESUTIL with some param's. I for one do not want to play around with said utility, unless absolutely neccessary. I will send the sheet to your own E-mail adress.

I am more concerned about the Exchange 2000 performance.it should show me the actual size when i view the properties of the Priv1.edb file. But, it is still shows me the same 16.2GB size always. Is it a bug ? Is it a configuration problem? Hard Disk problem ? etc etc... what is the actual reason behind these? thanks again. ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------
