EMS not matching EMC - exchange 2007
Hi all, i am using the command below in exchange 2007 EMS
Set-Mailbox -Identity firstname.lastname -IssueWarningQuota 7340032 -ProhibitSendQuota 8388608 -ProhibitSendReceiveQuota 8388608 -UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults $false
however when i check the changes in EMC the values are totally wrong, they are showing as
- issue warning - 7168
- prohibit send at - 8192
- prohibit send and receive - 8192
I need increase the limit for a user and no wonder it isnt working!
What am i doing wrong in the EMS?
Thanks

Hi
The numbers are correct, the one value is in KB and the other in MB. 7340032/1024=7168.
