    Hello Ashraf,

    How you are saying its a wrong one?  

    are you with Exchange 2010 SP2 RU1?

    please refer this..

    http://exchangeserverpro.com/defrag-exchange-2010-mailbox-database

    AvailableNewMailboxSpace is a whitespace of the DB.

    In our exchange environment we have more than 500GBs of free space available  in each database.

    so I wondering why this show free space in MB?

    Thanks for the posting

    I think this document is applicable for non-dag exchange setup

    Hi Ashraf

    The available space in the database has been created by moving/deleting  mailboxes out of those databases or users deleting emails they have received.  This number indicates the amount of data that can be written to the database before the size of the EDB file on disk starts to increase.

    Cheers, Steve

    Hi Ashraf,

    As our friend Steve said they are the whitespace which created by deleting/moving mailboxes in that particular database.

    They are not your physical disk free space.  This is also applicable for DAG environment.

    you mean free space of physical disk? if so please have a look on disk management (diskmgmt.msc).
