The following information identifies the data files for default collections only. A 20MB overlap exists
between the Agent Proxy Agent and the Active Directory Agent when both Agents are installed on the
same machine.
Use the following information as a general guideline. Factors such as the types of data collected can affect
the sizing. VMware makes every effort to validate the numbers but cannot guarantee that the quoted
sizing information is accurate for all installations.
