This is correct.  I am sure that there is a more fine-tuned query that
could make it more optimized, but this gets the jobs done.  From what
I read of the question, the requirement is to report on "any" mailbox
enabled object that does not have any quota set.  If the OU where the
mailbox enabled objects live is known (or a parent), then the baseDN
could be set to that to further optimize the search.  In most cases
when a customer requests this information, the OU is not known (most
cases the objects are spread throughout the directory) and the
customer wants to know about all mailbox enabled objects that do not
have a quota regardless of location in Active Directory.

Anyways he did say that he has < 1000 users.  How big could his directory be?
