Not sure - the more I read it seems it's most likely due to the fact that the old servers started off with Exchange 5.5 and went through all the service packs as they were released - I believe there were issues with item counts that only got fixed with SP4.
My guess at this point is that as this new server is SP4 from day one it's performing an item count as items are transferred into the IS, and correcting the discrepancy. It seems the mailbox sizes are about identical, it's the item count that varies.

I've just started moving mailboxes from one of our servers, figured I'd do the largest malboxes first and I've noticed something with the first mailbox moved that I didn't expect. When I look at the pre/post move mailbox size and number of items there is a discrepancy - the pre move size and number of items is slightly larger than the post move size and no of items. I've found Q195490, which as I read it only relates to recoverable deleted items not being moved, not the whole contents of the deleted items - I wondered if anyone else had any ideas or had seen this sort of thing before? I'm reluctant to move any other mailboxes until I know what is happening! regards Paul _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.
