994.0. "How much space am I using on the EXCHANGE server?" by WHYNOW::NEWMAN (Protector of the Cause) Thu Apr 10 1997 17:46

    I am not quite sure of the proper terminology here but is there any way
    to determine how much space I am using on the EXCHANGE server?  We are
    initially limited to 20MB of disk space and would like to find out how
    much I am using BEFORE I get a warning that I am almost out of space.
    
    FWIW - I am using OUTLOOK, not the EXCHANGE client

994.1	You can get it from the Server.	FLASK2::SYSTEM	Nigel Bridport @REO	`Fri Apr 11 1997 12:03`	7
	Hmm, I am not sure if you find this information out from the Client. You can normally find out from the Exchange Server side, on the Private Information Store object. Nige.
994.2	Widget coming soon I hope	tunsrv2-tunnel.imc.das.dec.com::foster	Stan Foster - foster@mail.dec.com	`Sat Apr 12 1997 04:13`	7
	There is a client extension that we built for internal use and a very similar tool is on the v5 res kit. Eventually one of these will find its way into a packaged kit and be made available. The tool adds a button to the button bar and when you press it its tells you how much server space you are consuming for each message store you have configured. It doesnt report on .pst's or .ost's because these dont have the property that holds this information.
994.3	how do they do it?	TROOA::MSCHNEIDER	martin.schneider@tro.mts.dec.com	`Sat Apr 12 1997 09:48`	5
	Gotta chuckle .... an OS that doesn't know how to enforce a disk quota and a mail system whose client won't tell you how much space you're using, but will enforce a quota. 8-)
994.4	PPE has offered this for many months	GANTRY::HULL	Systems Integration [Delivery]/Motown	`Sun Apr 13 1997 10:15`	12
	if you add the Preview Pane Extension kit to your Exchange client, it adds a 'Folder Size' option under the File menu. You can highlight your mailbox and get the total of all Server-based docs, or select just 1 folder name and get a summary of that box. I use it all the time to check my space. PPE also gives you Msg Reminders. Its available from the MS webpage. Regards, Al
994.5	size differences	COPCLU::dhcp118.dmo.dec.com::larsen_b		`Mon Apr 21 1997 15:11`	11
	RE .4 I tried the PPE tool - Folder Size It looks like there is some difference in size, because the PPE-tool is telling me I have used 3382K and on the server there is used 4054K is there a special reason for this ? Thanks Bitten
994.6	Outlook preview extension also does this	COOKIE::reuter.cxo.dec.com::REUTER	Jim Reuter, Storage Management Software Engineering	`Thu Apr 24 1997 00:54`	5
	RE .4 Note that Outlook with its preview pane extension also provides this under the File->Folder menu.

994.8	PPE Kit web pointer	GANTRY::HULL	Systems Integration [Delivery]/Motown	`Fri May 30 1997 20:15`	11
	go to the microsoft web pages and do a search for 'PPE' or 'Preview Pane'. You'll find a Road Tour hit. It takes you to this: http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/tour/rightnow.htm PPE is the first item listed Regards, Al
