Public folders limits

Hi.

This article says that single public folder is limited to 10GB: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn594582%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

Is it configurable? I have several folders that are much larger.

You can use set-mailbox to set the quota.

The 10GB limit is what is supported however.

I don't see anything about single folder quota there. Does this limit means that public folder would not accept messages after growing above 10gb?

Hi,

Generally, if the Public Folder is larger than the IssueWarningQuota value which is set with Set-PublicFolder cmdlet. A warning message would be send to public folder owners stating that the folder is almost full.

Then the administrator should split content to different public folder mailboxes as their content grows over time in Exchange 2013.

As Winnie alludes to, you can set specific folder quota limits with ProhibitPostQuota  and set-publicfolder.

10GB is not hard limit but its what is supported and tested so I would not go above that for a PF mailbox.
