Hello all!

Does anybody know how to calculate space a particular object is
consuming in a ntds.dit file?


Thanks.
Anton.
 
Hi Paul,

I know this tool. But unfortunately it returns only planned size of
database. I need to know the real size instead.

Thanks.
Anton.
 
I believe you still use the same one things haven't changed much for sizing.

What do you mean by the real size? You enter the info on the expected
objects and it should calculate based on your answers. I don't think you are
going to get anything better than this.

Hi Paul,

In my mind, different User objects have different size in Active
Directory. For example, dsastat tool (from Support Tools) return 1000
bytes for User1 and 1050 bytes for User2. The goal is summarize object'
sizes for each organization unit.

Thanks.
Anton.
 
Well you will never be able to nail down each user object size exactly.
Groups will have different members, each user will have different
membership, etc... therefore they are dynamic in size so if you have
thousands of users and thousands of groups the amount of time it would take
you to calculate this all out would be so costly in time it would be much
simpler to just over build on assesment.
