What are Regions used for in the MessageStats Console and how do I create them?
Once you have enumerated your Exchange organization topology, you can group the administrative groups or Exchange servers into more meaningful groups called regions. Regions allow you to sort and group MessageStats usage reports based on a logical structure that more closely matches that of your enterprise. You can create regions that contain Exchange administrative groups and Exchange servers. Regions allow you to create gathering tasks that are based on geography, business units, or any other grouping method applicable to your enterprise.
You can create new regions or add Exchange servers to a region at any time. All servers added to a region must be in the same Exchange organization.

1. Right-click the Regions node under the MessageStats Server.
2. Select Create New Region.
3. Enter the name of the region you want to create.

Right-click the administrative group or a server, select Add to Region, and then select the region.
6. Repeat step 5 until the region contains all required Exchange objects.
7. Expand your new region to verify the contents.
