Exchange Mailbox Quota Precedence 1

[kendaukcat]

OK...have a basic question:

I realize you can set mailbox quotas at a system and a user level. If both are set, which is the effective setting?

For instance, if I set the quote on the Mailbox Store, as well as one through Active Directory which takes precedence?

Where I am heading with this is an easy way to set up a system-wide quota size, but let my corporate personnel be set up differently.

Thanks in Advance!!

The user setting will take precedence. We do exactly what you are trying to do. We have a system policy set up for a certain size, but set the size to larger for the CEO, CFO, etc. through AD Users and Computers.

Thanks for the heads up, PG! I will give it a whirl and see what happens.
