When users get the "your mail box is full" message, we want to modify the message to something specific. Can this be done? and how can this be done?

If you are using Exchange 2003 SP1 or later, you can use the quota message service to customize your system messages such as mailbox full. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb508861.aspx http://searchexchange.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid43_gci1192291,00.html If you are using E2K7, you can use the New-SystemMessage and Set-SystemMessage cmdlets to create and customize the system messages. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124325.aspx http://mostlyexchange.blogspot.com/2007/07/exchange-2007-get-systemmessage.html HTH!

Hi, I'm wanting to do the same thing as we recently had problems with our users' mailboxes getting too big, causing Exchange to hang when it wasn't able to complete the backups due to a lack of space. I've now instituted limits through ESM but knowing our users, the default message will confuse them. So I found QMS and promptly got stuck. I've looked at the QMS instructions and I've downloaded and installed it, but must admit I'm not an Exchange admin, I am just the closest thing we have to it. Which is saying something, as I've virtually no experience with it. I would greatly appreciate an idiot's guide to getting QMS running. I have no problems with the regedit stuff, but I am falling over when it comes to steps 3 & 4 as detailed here: Code Block 3. Configure a client profile to log on to the quota service mailbox. 4. Copy the folders in quotamsg.pst to the mailbox used by the service. The QuotaMessages folder must be at the root, not a subfolder of Inbox. I assume 3 just means set up Outlook with the appropriate QMS account so you can read mail, but I'm not at all sure about step 4. I can only presume that it means to copy the .pst into the mailbox on the server, but I don't know how to do this. If anyone could please take the time to walk me through thisI would very much appreciate it. Many thanks, Christian
