Greetings!

I'm hoping you can help me with an Exchange issue. In short, if I go to a users AD profile and go to his Exchange settings, then Storage Limits, the I get the 2GB limit message if I try to go over the 2GB limit.

But if I go to the storage group properties in System Manager, I can easily exceed the limits in those settings without getting the 2GB limit warning.

First, why the discrepancy? And second, I have 4 different levels in the storage group. The user I would like to increase is in the 512MB limit group. I don't know how to move him to a different storage group (that option is grayed out in AD User manager) and his Exchange Storage limits in that same tool won't let me exceed 2GB.

I would really appreciate some help here!

I found that article. See, I know how the change the size on a mailbox store and I know how to change the size on a user's individualy profile. The problem is, with the user's individual mailbox, the limit is 2GB.

The mailbox store that he is a member of is only 512 MB. I don't want to change the size of that because that would change ALL users in that group. That could get ugly.

So, I need to find a way to get just that user over 512MB and I can't find a way to change him to a higher level store.

Without knowing what the Server is doing here it's very hard to offer any suggestions. This is because this is set by the Server not Exchange. :)

That's probably what we'll have to do...migrate the user to another store level. I don't believe it's simply a matter of a few clicks to move him to another store level (we have 4 levels set up for that particular store). If I'm wrong, correct me..I'd love to hear that it's a simple matter.

All that being said, I find it strange that if I go to the properties of the store levels and can set the storage limits well over 2GB, but in the user's profile in AD Users and Computer Exchange tab, there is a 2gb limit.

Thanks just the same for your expertise!

On how the server is setup and how AD was impelmented. :)

It could be a simple change or it could be complicated all depends how AD was originally configured.

Hi!

I just noticed this now, so perhaps this is allready done.

I have done similar case by increasing users mailbox in ADUC. You go properties=> exchange advanched and there you will find mailbox properties. Just take the sign away from users checkbox corrisponding the size of mailbox, then you can manually set the size.

I`m sorry about mistakes, hope you understand.
