dosn't run out, and its part of comapny policy to check them every
week. so my intial question is how to correctly check size's for data
stores pleease.

its an enterprise size version so i know there is no limit for data
store size, just need to keep an eye on the size for sake of pysical
disk space..

You can roll your own script or use something like Servers Alive,
which last I checked , allows you to monitor up to 10 services (incl.
Disk space) for free.


many thanks

Just a thought, write yourself a simple script to do this every morning.
This sounds like a waste of someone's time to be doing by hadn every day.
Just check the size of the files on the disk.


Depends on what the goal is.

If he is using Exchange 2003 Sp2, then that no longer uses the
physical store size on disk as the limit in Standard edition. Its the
actual, logical size of the database that determines that with SP2, so
simply measuring the file size on disk won't mean much unless there is
a concern about running out of physical disk space.
