Simple one. In Exchange Management Console, server config, mailbox > Mailbox Database Properties, are the limts per mailbox, or per database? They're still set at the default in my organisation (someone else installed and 'configured' exchange). I want to impose limits on my users, but I don't want to change this value incorrectly. Thanks.

Hi, thanks for your reply. The first link points to msexchange.org, and is about message size limits, not mailbox size limits. The second link I can't see on my iPhone, so will have to check later. Anyone else?

Try thisGet-MailboxDatabase -Identity "Server name\First Storage Group\Mailbox Database" | Get-Mailbox | ` Set-Mailbox -UseDatabaseQuotaDefault $True Individual mailbox settings take precedence over global database settings. You can see that in the EMC, so first you need to set all mailboxes in the particular database to True. Below sort of an explanation of what is going one. To see the results in the EMC, you must to a refresh. # We need to get the name of the database Get-MailboxDatabase -Identity "SBS\First Storage Group\Mailbox Database" # The we do a pipe and get all mailboxes in that database Get-Mailbox # A new pipe for each and every single mailbox we do a Set-Mailbox -UseDatabaseQuotaDefault $TrueRaj

Hi again, thanks again for your reply, but I think you're mis-understanding my question. I don't need to know how to do anything - I just wanted to clarify some information, that is: Are the kb values you enter into EMC at the point I mentioned: server config, mailbox > Mailbox Database Properties > limits , are they values for the database as a whole or are they the vlaues for each individual mailbox? I do appreciate you spending time to reply, but the answer I'm after would be either: those settings are for the database as a whole OR those settings are for each mailbox. Thanks!

They are for individual Mail boxes.Raj

They are the values for the each individual mailbox under the database that you selected

Thank you both.
