RE: [ActiveDir] Add folder with quota to existing mailboxes - via scripting or tool

[Brian Desmond]

You can’t do per folder quotas. If you’ve got a lot of mailboxes that’s going to be slow going with that code (but it will work). Exchange 2007 and Outlook 2007 add a feature which will accomplish what you want.   Thanks, Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED]   c - 312.731.3132   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mathieu CHATEAU Sent: Sunday, August 27, 2006 3:04 PM To: Victor W.

You may set up a special retention on this folder.   sample _vbscript_ to create the private folder set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")     set inbox = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI").getDefaultFolder(6)  set temp5 = inbox.folders.add("Private",6)    hope it helps,   Regards, Mathieu CHATEAU http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com   Sunday, August 27, 2006, 8:57:03 PM, you wrote:   >  Does anybody know what is the 'best' way to add automatically a folder to existing mailboxes and set a quota on that same folder? We would like all our users to get a folder called "private" added to the root of their mailbox and if possible, a quota to be set to that folder.   Can this be done by scripting easily or is there perhaps even a tool which is capable of doing this?   This also counts for new, still to be created users. I mean, every user that will be created will have to have that certain folder added to his or her mailbox. Offcourse this could be done by running the script a couple of times a day, checking if the folder exists allready and if not, adding it. Or perhaps it can even by realised the moment a user has been created.   Any ideas are greatly appreciated.           List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.activedir.org/ml/threads.aspx
