How do I exclude the calendar from mailbox quotas

2011-10-11 Thread Beahm, Keith
We need to 'encourage' our users to file their client emails into the firm's external (i.e. non exchange) document management system, and we have done this by imposing strict mailbox quotas. The issue we now have is that some user's calendars have grown so large that the quotas are impacting

I don’t know of a third party solution that could do that. You could script a process that checks the mailboxfolderstatistics, and sets their quota to the size of the calendar items + whatever you want the non-calendar item size limit to be. You’d probably want to run that regularly as a

Because, in the early days, Exchange actually tried to compete against Notes/Domino (and then it eventually basically killed those products – thankfully). And those were application / file / database / storage platforms as a well as collaboration platforms. Basically, what Microsoft pushes the

You begin the removal from Add/Remove Programs, and then insert the original CD when it is called for. That’s the correct procedure. If you can’t remove the PF database the same as you removed the MB databases, then you have a problem. It sounds like you have exacerbated that problem. In order
