Is there anyway to see the actual size of the mailbox dumpster on an Exchange 2007 server? I have seen all the articles on how to calculate dumpster space requirements but I would like to know the current real size of the dumpster on my existing servers as we make our plans to migrate to Exchange 2010. ThanksTBrennan

PerfMon has a counter for "Total Size of Recoverable Items" in the "MSExchange Mailbox" object. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
