Hi, can anyone explain what is the difference of the two command: New-SystemMessage and Set-SystemMessage? Does the custom quota message (e.g. en\WarningMailbox) automatically replace the default Warning message? Do i need to call a cmd to apply the message etc.? thanks.

Hi, I think after reading these articles you will get information about your questions. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232089%28EXCHG.80%29.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb508861%28EXCHG.65%29.aspx Regards.

thanks for the link. i've read them. so if i want the end user see a different quota msg, should i use New-SystemMessage ? (Exchange 2007). Then what is Set-SystemMessage for? also, is there parameter i can include in the custom msg to show a user's ProhibitSendandReceive limit? because the red bar diagram in the default msg only show the ProhibitSend limit. thanks.

Hi, New-SystemMessage is used to create a new customized delivery status notification (DSN) or quota messages. The customized message will be used instead of the built-in message. You do not need to run another command to apply the custom message. The following command shows how to view a list of all built-in DSN and quota messages: Get-SystemMessage –original |fl Set-SystemMessage is used to modify existing customized messages. >>also, is there parameter i can include in the custom msg to show a user's ProhibitSendandReceive limit? because the red bar diagram in the default msg only show the ProhibitSend limit. Unfortunatelly, there is no such parameter to show a user's ProhibitSendandReceive limit.
