Default Mail Box size

Without exchange, you need to "visit" the local computer, either in person
or using a script to read the file size of the pst (s). If users moved their
pst from the default folder, you'll need to read the registry to find out
where it is.

Hello,

Can I ask if there is a way of finding this out without visiting the PC?
We
have to move 100+ users to a new building and need to know how big their
mailboxes are (which are stored on local drives). We're not using
Exchange.

Thanks,

Eoin Dunne,

After furious head scratching, rexmann asked:

| Hi all

| Any help greatly appreciated
