Mailboxes Using Mailbox Database Default Quotas Showing Up As Unlimited
All of my mailboxes which have "Use Mailbox Database Defaults" checked off in EMC show the following under get-mailbox: prohibitsendquota : unlimited prohibitsendreceivequota: unlimited IssueWarningquota: unlimited I have verified that mailbox database limits are set as follows: Issue warning: 1945 ProhibitSend: 2048 ProhibitSendandReceive: 2355 Just curious why the database limits would not also show up as user mailbox limits. Thanks

They just don't. The attribute UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults tells you whether the mailbox's quota settings or the database's applies.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

I see. Thanks. So ... if I wanted to search for mailboxes that didn't have *any* limits set, I might use something like: get-mailbox | where-object {$_.UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults -eq $False -and $_.ProhibitSendReceiveQuota -eq "unlimited"} Which does seem to return a few names. Not sure how confident I am that's all of them, though. Anyway, I'll play around with it. Thanks again.

Yes, I think that's what you want. Technically that command would omit the case where UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults is True and the store's ProhibitSendReceiveQuota is unlimited, but if you're sure that all stores have quotas, then it's a moot point. If I've answered your question, you're welcome to mark it so! Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."
