You probably should actually see a decrease in size simply
from the new ACL storage alone.
It is easy enough to prove out in the lab though.
The doc doesn't know what kind of data you specifically are storing, it is
making some assumptions that may not be valid for you.

Subject: [ActiveDir] 2003 NTDS.DIT size
All,
We
have 53,000 user AD environment. The current size of the NTDS.DIT is just
under 2GB.
I am
reading Chapter 9 of the 2003 planning document and on page 368 it
states:
"On
the drive that will contain the Active Directory database, NTDS.dit, provide 0.4
gigabytes (GB) of storage for each 1,000 users.
..."
Now,
if this is true, that is saying when I upgrade to 2003, my database will grow
from 2GB to 21GB. This seems a little hard to believe. We are
going to be doing this in the lab shortly, but we are planning additional
hardware, and this seems a little "off".
Can
anyone confirm this?
