Exchange 2007 Mailbox storage quota issue.  Mailboxes are being checked for quote when set to unlimited
We have an Exchange 2007 environment where many users are being checked against some storage quota limit. We don't have quotas set on the mailboxes or at the database level? Would these be set somewhere else? I thought there were only 2 levels. User and database. Here is what I am seeing on one of the mailboxes: [PS] C:\Windows\System32>Get-Mailbox "196 grocery" | fl *quota* ProhibitSendQuota : unlimitedProhibitSendReceiveQuota : unlimitedUseDatabaseQuotaDefaults : TrueIssueWarningQuota : unlimitedRulesQuota : 64KB [PS] C:\Windows\System32>Get-MailboxDatabase "StoreDeptMgrsEven" | fl *quota* ProhibitSendReceiveQuota : unlimitedProhibitSendQuota : unlimitedQuotaNotificationSchedule : {Sun.1:00 AM-Sun.1:15 AM, Mon.1:00 AM-Mon.1:15 AM, Tue.1:00 AM-Tue.1:15 AM, Wed.1:00 AM-Wed.1:15 AM, Thu.1:00 AM-Thu.1:15 AM, Fri.1:00 AM-Fri.1:15 AM, Sat.1:00 AM-Sat.1:15 AM}IssueWarningQuota : unlimited [PS] C:\Windows\System32>Get-MailboxStatistics "196 Grocery" | ft DisplayName,TotalItemSize,ItemCount,StorageLimitStatus DisplayName TotalItemSize ItemCount StorageLimitStatus----------- ------------- --------- ------------------196 Grocery 135576889B 136 BelowLimit The StorageLimitStatus should be set to NoChecking. Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you

Hi, Microsoft exchange 2007 is having default mailbox size for each users, or u can say limited space but you can extend it from here. Property of Mailbox database -->Limit. Thanks Amit Rawat

You still have to tell it not to use the defaults, even if you manually set the quotas. [PS] C:\Windows\System32>Get-Mailbox "196 grocery" | fl *quota* ProhibitSendQuota : unlimitedProhibitSendReceiveQuota : unlimitedUseDatabaseQuotaDefaults : True <========== IssueWarningQuota : unlimitedRulesQuota : 64KB set-mailbox "196 grocery" -UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults $false

Hi, After you set the Unlimited both on mailbox and database level, did you restart the Information Store service? In my test lab, after restarting the service, the StorageLimitStatus changes to NoChecking.Frank Wang
