Hi, I was asked to look into changing the quota message so we can add another line to make it bilingual. My answer is going to be the following, but am I overlooking anything? We're running Exchange Server 2007 SP2 "In 2007 we use Set-SystemMessage but what I’m not seeing so far is: You can’t do carriage returns for another line, so French would be on the same line as English. There’s a text parameter but not one to change the subject line. The Exchange server locale is English so I’m not sure how it will handle French characters, if any."

I haven't played with this much, but I believe it supports HTML, so this means you can use <BR> for line breaks: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125135(EXCHG.80).aspx Mike Crowley | MVP My Blog -- Planet Technologies

Hi rudi, You can try using "/n" for the line break. e.g. "English text. /n Franch text." About subject line, it's a non customizable field so the subject cannot be changed. You can run the cmdlet twice to set the systemmessage for EN & FR locale respectively.

Hi rudi, Any updates? Frank Wang

Thanks for the responses. I haven't checked to see if this works yet. You mentioned changing the message for English and French locales but I thought Exchange only works with the locale of the OS it's installed in. Are my French users running French language locale on their desktops goinging to get a French version if I add it? Thanks, Rudif

Hi Rudi, Sorry for the delay response. If you installed Exchange server with language set to English, and French user machine/outlook client installed with Language set to French. After you set the SystemMessage as following: New-SystemMessage –QuotaMessageType WarningMailbox -Language EN –Text “FRENCH FRENCH FRENCH FRENCH ||| ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH" New-SystemMessage –QuotaMessageType WarningMailbox -Language FR –Text “FRENCH FRENCH FRENCH FRENCH ||| ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH” Result: French users will receive body of quota message contains English and French, but the Subject language will be in English. If you want French users see French Subject, please change the Language property of the French users to FR-CA. Set-Mailbox - identity "user" -languages "FR-CA" Frank Wang
