* What specific quota sizes should I put in place? From what I've read
Microsoft recommends the .ost does not exceed 2gb and inboxes to not exceed
5,000 items. Should I use this as the quotas we put in place or should I
enforce something less than that even?
* How do I handle backlash from the worst offenders who are likely to gripe
the loudest when this is put in place? Obviously I'll have instructions in
place for everybody on how to archive their emails to .psts which they can
then back up on the network, but what else should we plan to do?
* What would you recommend as a timeline for the end users to clean up their
inboxes to prepare for the quotas?
Any additional guidance or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
one other thing to be aware of. by enforcing quotas on the server, this
will just mean that users will start archiving mail to their local
machines.
these scattered, local copies of mail will still need to be searched when
there are legal issues.
also, when people have problems with their machines that cause them to
loose the mail complain (and loosing the mail may cause business problems
if your people are like so many others who keep critical businesss records
in mail)
