In the latest build of AD Bulk Users we’ve added support setting the Exchange Storage Limits, these limits are stored in the attributes mDBStorageQuota (Issue warning at), mDBOverQuotaLimit (Prohibit send at) and mDBOverHardQuotaLimit (Prohibit send and receive at).

The check box ‘Use mailbox store defaults’ shown above is toggled on and off using the attribute mDBUseDefaults, so to set non default storage limit we need to set mDBUseDefaults to FALSE. If you want to turn the default storage limits back on just set mDBUseDefaults to TRUE in the CSV file.

Below is an example CSV file that would set ‘Prohibit send and receive at (KB):’ to 1Gb, 2GB and 3GB for the 3 users in the file. The sAMAccountName is the users logon name and is used to locate the user in Active Directory, the Modify column tells the program we are modifying an existing user.

In my example above a 1Gb quota may be too low for some, if a user receives 100 x 50k messages a day for 30 days this would consume 150MB, or 1.8GB over a year.

All the best.

When importing new users (or modifying existing users) with an Exchange mailbox  you may not want to have the Exchange recipient policy update the e-mail addresses for those users, by default when AD Bulk Users creates the mailbox ‘Automatically update e-mail addresses based on recipient policy’ is checked i.e. TRUE, to prevent this being set add a column to your CSV file entitled AutoUpdateOnRecipientPolicy and set the value to FALSE.

Click here for an example CSV file.

The result of setting AutoUpdateOnRecipientPolicy to FALSE is ‘Automatically update e-mail addresses based on recipient policy’ is unchecked meaning the recipient policy won’t update the mailbox for the user.

All the best.
