asked on

2gb limit on users account - can it be increased?

We have an exchange 2003 server and we often put limits on the the sizes of mailbox's for users.
A few users however, need excessive limits, and are already hitting the 2gb maximum that is allowed.
My question is, is there a way to increase this limit, say to large tabel support of 4gb on the Exchange 2k3 server.

Hi,

You can set limits for individual mailboxes through ADU&C so some users have larger limits or different restrictions than others - is that what you are looking for?

Fraid not, we already know about that, but the theoretical max limit using ADU&C is 2gb - if you try and put anything higher in, you get a warning that the limit is 2097151kb
I have found a method using ADSI edit, but that is far from suitable - would prefer an official microsoft recommended method rather than playing about with ADSIEdit.

Wow I've never seen that limit thanks guys. This is what I luv about this site. Thanks again.
Since you mention this could be done via ADSI Edit then can I guess this is a limit in the AD Users and Computer interface so something like ADModify.net might also work?
