RE: [ActiveDir] Exchange Mailbox Limits

[Robin Smith]

Title: Exchange and disabling accounts

I’d be interested to hear what others have to say, too.  We are stingy with our mailbox limits because the more we give our users the more they abuse it. We limit most ‘regular’ users to 8MB with a warning at 7MB. When they reach 8MB they can’t send. If a regular user’s mailbox gets to 15MB then we disable it. This forces the user to do something – either call the Help Desk or clean out their mail. Directors and chiefs and commissioners and such are generally given much higher limits. We start at 25MB and then increase by 10MB if necessary. We do have a handful of users who have no limits whatsoever and their mailboxes are out of control. We are in the process of migrating to Exchange2003 and implementing mailbox manager.   Robin   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mischler Timothy J Contractor NASIC/SCNA Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 7:55 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Exchange Mailbox Limits   Just out of curiosity, those of you who are Exchange Admins, what is the max size that your users can stop sending and receiving? How do you deal with users who are out of the office your whatever reason, so they don't lose emails because their over there limit?   Thanks Tim
