5.46 - 1864 MBs across 6 stores IMHO there's more benefit to archiving these days than SIS - but SIS had its day before archiving became a big player.
OT: This will probably be my last post here - so - I want to say Thank You All for all the great tips and enlightenment. You've been a tremendous help over the years. Been threatening to retire for awhile now - it is becoming reality.

Just how much do people actually benefit from SIS (Single Instance Storage) in Exchange? Would people be willing to share their SIS ratio from their Exchange server(s)? Approximations are fine. For multi-server organizations, an average or just picking a server at random would still inform. I'll start: SIS ratio = 5.6 You can discover the SIS ratio by: 1. Open Performance Monitor (PERFMON.EXE) 2. Select "System Monitor" on the left 3. Right-click the graph on the right, and pick "Add Counters" 4. For "Performance Object", select "MSExchangeIS Mailbox" (or similar) 5. Select the "Single Instance Ratio" counter in the list on the left 6. Select the "_ Total" instance in the list on the right 7. Click "Add" 8. If needed, select the resulting counter in the list at the bottom of the graph 9. Look at the "Last" value reported for that counter -- Ben ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~ ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~
