Storage Group Free SpaceIs there a way scripting/csharp to determine free space of an exchange
storage group? I have seen many examples of getting the size, but not free space. Thanks -Jeremy if you mean white space, that's per store, not per storage group...event

through event logs?

No need to script.

My eventlog shows: "The database "SG1\[server].SG1.MB1" has 1969 megabytes of free space after online defragmentation has terminated. " However in disk managemt for that store it shows: [server].SG1.MB1 = "Capacity - 80 GB; Free Space - 45.70 GB; % Free - 57%" Aside from knowledge what am I lacking because cleary 1,969 MB free does not equate to 45.70 GB??

That is the white space available inside the .EDB file. In other words if your store (.edb) is 10 GB in size, 8031 MB of it is mail and the other 1969 is free space inside there for more mail.

regulations on mailboxes so administration is a nightmare. With that being said often the combined size of the STM and EDB file equate to available free space on the disk or lack there of. So basically I wanted to get "Disk Capacity", "Disk Free", "Database Size (combined EDB & STM)", "White Space". Which I eventually figured out how to do and wrote an application for it using primarily WMI (Win32_Volume, Win32_NTLogEvent, CIM_DataFile) and DirectoryServices in CSharp. Thank you for giving me the eventlog info though. -J Show quoteHide quote "Martin Blackstone [MVP]" wrote: > > Free space in the store has nothing to do with free space on the disk. > That is the white space available inside the .EDB file.
