Hi, I have Exchange 2007. I want to set up mailbox quota for all users. After I set it in Server Configuration -> Mailbox -> Properties -> Limits, I went to Recipient Configuration -> Mailbox. I open user's mail box, I noticed the box "Use mailbox database defaults" is unchecked for all users. How can I make it checked without going to each mailbox to check it? Please advise! Thanks!Grace

Something like this would work: Get-Mailbox -resultsize unlimited | foreach { set-mailbox $_ -IssueWarningQuota Unlimited -ProhibitSendQuota Unlimited -ProhibitSendReceiveQuota Unlimited -UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults:$true } --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Hi Rich, Thank you for your reply. I got the output below after I ran the command. Please advise! Set-Mailbox : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Prohibit SendQuotaUnlimited'. At line:1 char:117 + Get-Mailbox -resultsize unlimited | foreach {set-mailbox $_ -IssueWarningQuot a Unlimited -ProhibitSendQuotaUnlimited <<<< -ProhibitSendReceiveQuota Unlimit ed -UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults:$true} + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-Mailbox], ParameterBin dingException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Microsoft.Exchange.Manage ment.RecipientTasks.SetMailbox Grace

You missed the space 'ProhibitSendQuotaUnlimited' should be 'ProhibitSendQuota Unlimited'.James Chong MCITP | EA | EMA; MCSE | M+, S+ Security+, Project+, ITIL msexchangetips.blogspot.com

It worked. Thank you very much!!! One more question. Will this change apply to new mailbox? Grace

Do you always set explicit quotas on them, or do you allow the default of "-UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults:$true"? If you take the default, the answer is "yes". If, however, you have some scripted provisioning of new mailboxes the answer is "no". --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
