Users in my Exchange 2007 SP2 environment are getting Quota notification alerts fine as per their storage quotas defined. I am looking towards some options here - Can I send them customized, automated message from a support mail ID with a copy to their manager (As specified under Manager field in that users properties)with a gentle reminder to take a note of such alerts.

That should be achievable with a PowerShell script, yes. "Shireesh1" wrote in message news:a0816d25-7b33-4438-93d2-c033905fe936@communitybridge.codeplex .com...

Hi, Yes it can be done using Powershell script. Plz have a look into this article: Managing Exchange 2007 Mailbox Quotas with Windows PowerShell http://www.simple-talk.com/sysadmin/powershell/managing-exchange-2007-mailbox-quotas-with-windows-powershell/ Also have a look into this forum thread (last 2 posts) for how to send email using powershell. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvradmin/thread/fe78bfb5-c516-4c47-b41f-46d2c3094a8f Regards,Laeeq Qazi|Team Lead(Exchange + Sharepoint + BES + DynamicsCRM) www.HostingController.com

Thanks for the reply and the helpful links. I want the script to have the users pulled out from all the databases,sorted as per the threshold value say approached 90% of their assigned quota, pick their manager from the properties field,send an email to both the users and there manager using a single scheduled script.I am finding it difficult to construct such a script , please suggest.

I came accross this http://www.messageops.com/blog/index.php?/archives/31-Exchange-Online-Mailbox-Size-Warning-Notification-Script.html any ideas to include user's manager while sending mail using the script ?

Hi, In your script once u got the email address of the mailbox then u can easily find the manager's primary smtp address using these lines of script: Here "user@domain.com" is the mailbox's email address, whose quota is being checked $mbx = get-user "user@domain.com" $manager = $mbx.Manager $emailID =(get-mailbox $manager.DistinguishedName).PrimarySmtpAddress $emailID = $emailID.ToString() Now EmailID will represent the PrimarySmtpAddress of the manager, if a mailbox exists for him.
