Upon launching the application,
the user is presented with the Object Collection window containing
three groups of attributes: Active Directory, Computers, and
Quest Access Services (QAS). Each of these groups contains several
values which enable the application to estimate the size of a Quest
Reporter database over time. The initial window also provides the
user with the option of viewing the size of the database after it
has grown for one to ten years.
In the Active Directory group,
the user may enter the number of AD domains, users, and groups.
The Computers group provides fields for the number of computers
whose information will be collected by Quest Reporter, along with
the average number of files and folders per computer and the number
of registry entries per computer. Finally, the QAS group provides
fields for the number of QAS users and groups that will be reported
on by Quest Reporter.
