Possible? Yes. Good? Don't know to be fully honest. ASPs like Netstore use Exchange 2000, and there are plenty of others.

Somebody I know wants to try to host an exchange solution for multiple small companies. -----Original Message----- From: William Lefkovics [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 7:57 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Applying Mailbox Limits....After the Fact All you can do is report and recommend. Fully communicate the reasons and risks. Management will make the best decision based on your contributions. Exchange2000 Enterprise will allow multiple storage groups so you can have variable send/receive limits administered more simply. Also, you can keep management mailboxes in their own store. Restoration can be per store. Other stores are not affected during the process. Just my unsolicited ramblings. William -----Original Message----- From: Mike Zatkalik [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2002 3:10 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Applying Mailbox Limits....After the Fact I am in a similar position. We had a 250MB warning, 300MB prohibit and a sales person complained to my boss and my boss said to remove the limits on EVERYONE. Now, I have 6 mailboxes in the 1GB+ range and the majority of the other mailboxes are above 400MB+. Of course all of these huge mailboxes are on laptops, so the OST is frickin huge and every other month it gets corrupted and has to be recreated. My company is about 230 user with a priv.edb of 47.5GB. Backups only take a whopping 8 hours for full backup, meaning about the same for a restore. Management is upset that the restore would take so long, but they aren't willing to enforce limits, or delete mail. Oh well, what can I do.

We've got exec levels at over a Gig mailboxes. Pretty ridiculous, eh. That's what happens when they build an exchange server w/o limits!

Wow that's pretty lenient. You must have ample IS space on your server. Im forced to set mine at 50MB warning 60 mB prohibit. But then again there are over 500 mailboxes. -----Original Message----- From: John Matteson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2002 3:10 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Applying Mailbox Limits....After the Fact Use the HEADERS.EXE file to build a CSV template of the mandatory and optional values you want to extract from the database. Use the directory export tool with the CSV file you generated with HEADERS and then set the limits you wanted on the boxes you wanted, then import. Barring that, and you want to set a GLOBAL value, use the values on the server in the Private Information Store object. This will not overwrite any values set on individual mailboxes.

Neil -----Original Message----- From: William Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 14 February 2002 19:13 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Applying Mailbox Limits....After the Fact Does anyone know of a utility or script that can do the following under Exchange 5.5, Win2k Server SP2, About 250 or so recipients: I would like to apply mailbox limits at 275mb warn and 300mb disable send. The twist is that for existing users over 300mb I would like their limit warning to be 75mb more than what they currently have and their disable send limit to be 100mb more than what they have. Is there a utility or script available that will scan my mailboxes and apply these limits? Maybe I haven't figured out the correct wording yet but I can't find any reference to this on the web or technet. Thanks, William L. Smith Systems Administrator Riptech, Inc.
