Thanks Les.
It all started originally with one of our clients who we took over,
converted to SBS 2003 and found that some of the users already had 3Gb+
mailboxes and 3Gb+ of files, so suddenly they found synchronisation and
started moving things over and the 72Gb of storage that looked fine (i.e.3
times what they had on their previous server) on day -1 suddenly has become
a little on the small side.
I am just trying to work out exactly what counts against what allocation.
Time for pencil and paper + calculator methinks.
Thanks again - Terry
