Import Storage Size Data

Introduction

Mailbox size, Mailbox folder size, Public folder size and Exchange database size are the data sources used to produce reports from the Templates > Storage menu.

Use this option to import storage size information into the database.

Note: Some specific components and permissions are necessary for the import to work.

Promodag Reports directly retrieves that information from the directory.
