How does the ChangeAuditor exchange License count Differ from the Domain Statistics License count.
When running the Domain Statistics tool from Quest, the results show that Mailbox Enabled Users is greater than the Value that the ChangeAuditor License count Uses. Which is correct
Resolution
The ChangeAuditor license count for Exchange uses the following LDAP Query
Mail Enabled User Count Query (for Exchange licensing including Exchange Online):
(&(samAccountType=805306368)(|(&(!userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)(msExchHomeServerName=*))(&(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)(msExchMasterAccountSid=*))))
All license count queries are in the Technical Insight Guide
Note : The Domain Stats tool actually counts any object in AD that has a Mailbox assigned to it, regardless of if the Object is enabled or Disabled, so this will always show more than the ChangeAuditor license count.
ChangeAuditor query only counts Objects that have a mailbox that are enabled in AD. Plus the following
SystemMailbox{Guid} x 3
Migration. Guid
FederationEmail.Guid
discoverySearchmailbox{GUID}
Note these additional mailboxes are disabled but ChangeAuditor still counts them
