Hi Shabarinath, I have looked all switches for the Set-MailboxDatabase cmdlets, but there aren't any switches that could help me to achive the goal. So, the IsSuspendedFromProvisioning switch have not given results for blocking to creating mailboxes. MCTS: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007/2010 | MCSA

Hi Rowen-Xu, Thanks for your replay, The Control Automatic Mailbox Distribution feature is a solution for me. Thanks again. But, I would like to khow, are there any methods to use ADSI Edit or Power Shell switches to block creating mailboxes for a particular database? Thank you for patience.

Hi Adndrey, Try using a scripting agent in the CmdletExtensionAgents directory. Put some logic into it that says if the command enable or new mailbox is enacted, pick form a list of databases that exclude the one you want. Hope it helps.Rowen TechNet Community Support
