I want to ask about managing the size of public folders. As first, I think the size limit set in the top folder will count including all subfolders (10G limit set in the root will include all subfolders and files within). But it seems I'm wrong. Every subfolder got its own limit. Is there a way or setting that can achieve this? Because I want to allocate one folder for each department and allow them to create folders on their own as long as they keep all things within the quota I speciifed. Thanks

Which exchange version do you use, 2003? You dont want to restrict the storage limit on the public folder level for the end users, but on the store level (10 GB), am I understand correctly? Per my knowledge, it can be accomplished with Database Size Limit in Gb entry in the registry Notes: I would recommend the storage limit on the folder level, and please consider adding the age limits on the normal public folder that contains less important data, so the data wont be filled up too quickly for you to manage Related resources: The To configure the database size limit for a database with Exchange Server 2003 SP2 section in the Public folder store exceeds 12 GB Exchange Public Folder Best Practices: Managing Data
