Limits

[intel233]

I am a little confused with setting limits. In Org Configuration->Hub Transport->Global Settings->Transport Setting I have set the Max receive(50mb), Max send(10mb)
but if I do get-mailbox for a user it shows unlimited.
I also have the Mailbox->Database Management then go to the properties of the Mailbox db->Limits and that is set and again if I do a get-mailbox for a user it shows ProhibitSendQuota(set to 2gb), ProhibitSendReceiveQuota(set to 2.5gb) it shows as Unlimited.
I only have 1 mailbox db where users are. So shouldn't they be taking the limits I set?

These are all different limits acting on different things.

e.g. Transport limit is the size of an individual e-mail that can be sent / received on a global basis but you could also limit individual users to smaller amounts I think.
Will check when I have a machine with EMS handy.

That link does not answer my question.

I then have to use powershell to set the correct limits.

I have the following set:

Organization Configuration-Mailbox and right click on the mailbox and goto properties I have the Limits set.

Issue Warning 1991680

Prohibit Send 2097152

Prohibit Send and Receive 2411520

Then in organization Configuration-Hub Transport and right click on Transport Settings I have

Maximum receive size 15360

Maximum send size 15360

When I do get-mailbox intel233 | list and look at issueWarningQuota ProhibitSendQuota or MaxsendSize/MaxReceiveSize they all say unlimited. Shouldn't it be set to the limits above? The only way for me to get them set is to go in powershell and do:

get-mailbox -organizationalUnit "NewYork" |set-mailbox -maxsendsize 15mb -maxReceiveSize 15mb

get-mailbox -organizationUnit "NewYork" | set-mailbox -issueWarningQuota 1gb -ProhibitSendQuota 1.2gb -ProhibitSendReceiveQuota 1.5gb

But I have a lot of OU's and not looking to do that for every OU.

Setting org level limits will have no affectect on what the individual limits are set to on a mailbox.

Setting the limits on a mailbox DATABASE (Org>Mailbox) in the gui on a particular mailbox is not the same. That's a database limit.

You need to go to Recipient Configuration>Mailbox>[user] and set limits there. You should see the same thing you see when you do a get-mailbox, since the gui just runs PowerShell in the background (set-mailbox).
