E-Vault size determination

Can anyone tell me how a user can determine the size (space available remaining) of their E-Vault archive?  I have not been able to finding anything published in user guides, on the web, etc.  I know how to find the size of a user's mailbox, but not their corresponding E-Vault archive.  Quotas are going to be implemented soon and the users I support will be asking how to determine the size to see if old archived items need to be deleted before the system deletes them.

    That's no possible inside the product currently.

     

    You *could* write a webservice that did though ...  and add a folder to Outlook, with a homepage set to that web service.

    So you as the Admin can see the size of the archives on the usage.asp page or via the reports.

    Once you enable archive limits you can set up an email to notify users:

    Tony,

     

      Thx for the reply.  Unfortunately, I am not an Exchange server admin.  I provide support to end users at several sites for CBP.  I am looking for a solution the enduser can use while in Outlook. much like right-clicking their name at the top of Outlook and getting the box where they can look at folder sizes.
