Hi Tenover,<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;jumping from 2000 to 2003 is a really easy upgrade. Could you run the mailbox manager to clean up items older than say a year etc or impose limits to make your users clean up?<br />

Mailbox Manager sounds good....What exactly does it do? &nbsp;Will it simply &quot;Archive&quot; all items for all mailboxes into individual .pst files if over a certain amount of time old? &nbsp;That would be perfect.....

I just found out we will be moving to a new location in June, and I would like to incorporate an Exchange upgrade as well....Right now we are running Exchange 2000 Standard Edition, which I am constantly battling to keep under 16GB.....Running in a small W2k environment with 4 other servers, currently 30 users, growing to app. 60 by next year. &nbsp;Should I just go to 2000 Enterprise, or would it be wiser to take the leap all the way to Exchange 2003 Enterprise? &nbsp;Is it a fairly easy upgrade either way? &nbsp;Are there any issues running 2003 in a 2000 mixed-mode environment? &nbsp;Any thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated. &nbsp;Thanks.
