Hi,I wanted to set the mailbox quota on one of the mailboxes on the Exchange server 2003 from a remote machine which had Exchange 2007 Management tool installed on it.First i checked the mailbox for the quoto information using Get-Mailbox user1 | fl *quota,UseDatabaseQuotaDefaultsIt returned ProhibitSendQuota : unlimitedProhibitSendReceiveQuota : unlimitedIssueWarningQuota : unlimitedRulesQuota : 64KBUseDatabaseQuotaDefaults : TrueSo in order to change the mailbox quota i gave the commandSet-Mailbox user1 -UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults: $False -IssueWarningQuota 90MB -ProhibitSendQuota 95MB -ProhibitSendReceiveQuota 100MBBut this gave an error. An Exchange 2007 server on which an address list service is active cannot be found.At line:1 char:1+ S <<<< et-Mailbox user1 -UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults: $False -IssueWarningQuota 90MB -ProhibitSendQuota 95MB -ProhibitSendReceiveQuota 100MBI have tried the folowing option already to fix the isuue. Restart the Exchange Server system attendance ServiceBut it dint help, it gives the same error.Can any one help me out with this?Thanks & Regards,Gaurav

Gaurev,You can't use this to make a change on Exchange 2003, you can only do this on Exchange 2007 as far as I can remember.

Hi, In Exchange 2003, we have 4 level of size limit: Global Setting Connector Setting SMTP virtual server setting Per user mailbox setting By default the size limit in Connector Settings and SMTP virtual server settings are not set, so we will focus on Global Setting and Per User Mailbox Settings. When the users are using Outlook or OE to send and receive email, the size limit in User Mailbox Setting will override the Global Settings. So, if you use Outlook, that can be easily fulfilled by modifying the specific user mail settings: 1. Start the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, and then locate the user account that you want to configure. 2. Right-click the user's account, and then click Properties. 3. Click the Exchange General tab, and then click Delivery Restrictions to set the maximum size that you want to permit. Note: When this user is using OWA, the above user mailbox settings will not take effect, which means the mail size is still limited by the Global Settings. For more information, please refer to: How to set size limits for messages in Exchange Server http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322679/ Thanks Allen
