I already did the off-line fragmentation, but thanks. :) It's what got us
down from 16 to 13G.

Everyone seems to ignore my original post.. what I need to know is if I
really can not install Exchange Enterprise on my existing SBS 2003 Premium
server. I'm trying to avoid buying another copy of Server and another box
to run it on, etc.

Thanks,

Kiran
