Hi Bart,
Out of curiosity, what are the size of the ADM files in your
forest(s)?

Hi,
i manage a company single-handedly with 60.000+ users and
workstations and 8000+ servers. i have about 100 gpo's per domain, 7
domains per forest
My production forest user domain has a sysvol of 3.57
megabyte!! , The resource domain (machines) sysvol is only 2.1 megabyte.
I would really only use 1 small team at maximum for your gpo
administration with 1 responsible that acts as a moderator and manages
all of the settings, requests etc..
I guess that you have a lot of overrides in your settings as
well as custom ADM's
. Furthermore if you're doing software installation all the
software should be on a seperate file server share , and not in the
sysvol!!
By the way , i'm always for hire if you need a good GPO admin
;-)
Vriendelijke groeten,
Cordialement,
Kind Regards,

Subject: [gptalk] How big is your SYSVOL?
Hello,
Having recently become aware of the "sysvol bloat" phenomenon,
I've done
a bit of reading on the subject. I looked at the size of our
sysvol
directory and found that it is a whopping 4.6GB! We have a
single forest
with only one site and domain so thus far this hasn't proved to
be a
problem (that I'm aware of!) I'm taking steps to clean this up
but
because of our model with many, many OU admins doing their own
things,
it's a bit crazy.
Out of curiosity, how big is your sysvol? :)
And a bonus question: when a GPO is deleted through the GPMC,
does the
corresponding GPT folder in sysvol get removed at some point?
About 30
minutes ago I deleted a GPO but the GPT is still present.
Thanks!
Jason
