Listing Mailbox Size Limits

I am looking for an easy way to check individual mailbox limits without manually clicking my way through 3000 users.
I have looked up the Admin API for running a simple vbscript but the mailbox limits field isn't listed in the API reference. Surely someone has had to do this before?
thanks!

Oppss!! Sorry for the confusion.
You can have a listing of the Mailbox Size Limit for each user doing a maintenance of the post office.
Try this.
1.-Do a GroupWise Mailbox/Library Maintenance
Select Action: Analyze/Fix Database
Select: Structure
Select: Contents
Select: Collect Statistics
Databases. Users (Selecet Message if you want)
Results: Send the results to you email.
2.- Wait by the end of the process
3.- Open the log file and search for "Disk space management values"
You can observe the following values for each user:
.- Size Limit - (n)KB
.- Threshold - (n)%
.- (n)kbytes in use by user's mail
I hope this help to you needs.

Exchange 2013 Mailbox Size Limits

Are there any hard limits on mailbox sizes in Exchange 2013 (either in terms of mailbox size or item count)?
Note: I am aware of the public folder mailbox size limits as well as the hard limit of 2TB for mailbox databases.

I believe the max mailbox size is 100 GB

Major changes in Information Store
Managed Store
Newly rewritten Information Store processes, Microsoft.Exchange.Store.Service.exe and Microsoft.Exchange.Store.Worker.exe.
Each database runs under its own process, allowing for isolation of store issues to a single database.
Tightly integrated with MSExchangeRepl.exe to provide higher availability through improved resiliency.
Public Folder Database no longer exist.
Exchange 2013 it supports up to 100 GB of Mailbox size, with OL2013 OST file size can be controlled.
Exchange 2013 Enterprise Edition can only mount 50 databases on a mailbox server

Mailbox and Library Size Limits and Reporting

I have seen quite a few postings on size limits.
I have a system that has two Post Offices - one for mail and one for doc mgt. Users log into the e-mail PO and get redirected to the doc mgt PO when they need to access files in the libraries ( there are 6 libraries)
I would like to find a utility other than GW Check - maybe a nice Windows GUI app that lists the amount of space each user is using in each PO (or total) that would include all e-mails, sent and received (with attachments) and documents in the libraries.
I would also like to apply space limits to each user. "Client Options" sets it globally, but for each DOM or PO separately, and of course, you can be more granular on a per user basis. Setting the limit on a per user basis is daunting since it has to be done one at a time!
Is there a utility that not only reports consumed space, but also allows you to set the limits?
BTW, why are the disk space limits under the "Send" section of Client Options. Seems like it would be more of an "Environment" option.

I'm not sure of any utilities that do a "report and set" of the limits. The GWCheck Log File Parser that Dave Parkes wrote (Caledonia Network Consulting) works well for seeing how much space a user has in use. That said, you CANNOT set limits on users in the DMS - just isn't possible. It's a different system, and does not allow for size limits of documents, etc.
As for why size limits is located under "sent" I guess it's because it really affects the sending of mail the most. I.e., when a user reaches the size limit, incoming mail is not bounced. The size limit only prevents users from sending new mail until additional space is cleaned up.

List of exchange users with mailbox size per database.

Hello Friends,
Need small help i need to take out the list of users start with Alphabet A, B , C till Z per database along with their mailbox size limit so is there any simple way to get the list.
Thanks

Hi,
How about this?
http://help.outlook.com/en-us/140/gg576861.aspx
EDIT: Or maybe this:
$out = @()
$users = Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited
ForEach ($user in $users) {
$userMailboxStatistics = Get-MailboxStatistics $user
$props = @{
Username = $user.SamAccountName
DisplayName = $user.DisplayName
Database = $user.Database

'Quota Status' = $userMailboxStatistics.StorageLimitStatus
TotalItemSize = $userMailboxStatistics.TotalItemSize
$out += New-Object PsObject -Property $props
$out | Sort-Object Database,DisplayName | Export-Csv .\mbxDetails.csv -NoTypeInformation
Adjust the $props hash as needed to add/remove properties to the output object.

DLP Attachment Scanning - Size Limitations

Is it documented anywhere what the attachment file size limitations are for DLP scanning? In the ESA Configuration documentation I read:
"To scan attachments, the content scanning engine extracts the attachment for the RSA Email DLP scanning engine to scan."
Can you identify what scanning engine is referenced by "content scanning engine" and what is the maximum attachment size it can process? Also are those settings modifiable and some indcation of performance impact if they are increased to a maximum of 50 MB per attachment?
I know you can make some modifications in the DLP policy, however it is our desire to DLP scan every document sent up to our allowable maximum email size.
If large attachments cannot be scanned we may be forced to reduce our maximum message/attachment file size.
We are currently using Async O/S 7.5.1-102 and will be moving to 7.6.0 when it comes GA.

Hello David,
The content scanning engine in reference is the same AsyncOS scanning engine responsible or Message and Content Filter scanning. The maximum size of attachment to scan for this scanning engine is controlled by your 'scanconfig' setttings, as configured in the IronPort CLI. The default 'maximum size of attachment to scan' is 5MB.
IronPort1.example.com>scanconfig
There are currently 6 attachment type mappings configured to be SKIPPED.
Choose the operation you want to perform:
- NEW - Add a new entry.
- DELETE - Remove an entry.
- SETUP - Configure scanning behavior.
- IMPORT - Load mappings from a file.
- EXPORT - Save mappings to a file.
- PRINT - Display the list.
- CLEAR - Remove all entries.
- SMIME - Configure S/MIME unpacking.
[]> setup
1. Scan only attachments with MIME types or fingerprints in the list.
2. Skip attachments with MIME types or fingerprints in the list.
Choose one:
[2]>
Enter the maximum depth of attachment recursion to scan:
[5]>
Enter the maximum size of attachment to scan:
[5242880]>
<...>
Any message that is larger than this limit will be skipped by the scanning engine. This would mean that pertinent DLP policys and filters would not match that same message. Naturally, allowing larger messages to be scanned will result in performance risks, as more system resources would be required to complete the content scanning.

-Jerry

Exchange 2013 Mail Size Limits

I am having an issue with setting the max send and receive size on Exchange 2013. I keep getting the following error when I attempt to send a 20 meg file server to an internal exchange account OR if I attempt to send a 20 meg file from the exchange
server to an external account:

Hello Landfish,
Good Day...
The output gives the information that Size limit set for Receive and Send is 100 mb, but setting could have changed. So you can follow the below steps to resolve the issue.
There are basically three places where you can configure default message size limits on Exchange:
Organization transport settings
Send/receive connector settings
User mailbox settings.
To check your server’s current limit you can open Exchange Management Shell
Try the below commands to check the Message quota size limit
get-transportconfig | ft maxsendsize, maxreceivesize
get-receiveconnector | ft name, maxmessagesize
get-sendconnector | ft name, maxmessagesize
get-mailbox Administrator |ft Name, Maxsendsize, maxreceivesize
To change the above size limits based on your requirement.
Set-TransportConfig -MaxSendSize 200MB -MaxReceiveSize 500MB (Size is based on your requirement)
Attachment size limit
To set up the rule you can use the below PowerShell cmdlet, as the method is quite simple
New-TransportRule -Name LargeAttach -AttachmentSizeOver 20MB -RejectMessageReasonText "Message attachment size over 20MB - email rejected."

Increasing Email Size Limits for some users

Hi All,
For some users (management) i needed to arrange that they are able to send bigger files then the default 10MB limit to each other.
I used this procedure to do so,
https://www.simple-talk.com/sysadmin/exchange/increasing-email-size-limits-for-your-high-profile-users-in-exchange-2010/
In a nutshell:
Set Global Transport Org. Config to 200MB
Set Transport Send and Receive connector to 200MB
Created a Distribution group adding the MT members and me (for testing)
Created a transport Rule for the 10MB limit for all users and exception for the distribution group
(Believe me, i am not happy with the 200MB size limit)
All seems to work but i have one issue that i cannot tackel or maybe it is by design.
-Managemant can also send big files to all
users who do not have this privelige, this is not someting i want, sending 100MB+ attachments to over 150 users.
Is this by design or do i mis something?
Thanks,
Ron

Hi RonGielgens,
Attachment size in exchange has to be set on
Global settings
Connectors (send and receive connectors)
Mailbox
The global settings will affect all the others. of course connectors will affect specific servers and mailbox one user. You have to set the global to the absolute max size you want to allow in your organization.
after you do this you will need either to set the 10MB on each mailbox
Get-Mailbox | Set-Mailbox -MaxSendSize 10MB -MaxReceiveSize 10MB
Then change the limit on specific mailbox
or another way is to create a transport rule that will reject the email if the attachment size it > 10MB unless the sender/recipient is the required user or group.
so basically create 2 transport rules
1. reject messages sent to anyone with attachment > 10mb unless the recipient is userX
2. reject messages sent from anyone with attachment > 10mb unless the sender is userX
Normal case it should not allow.
Thanks, MAS

Cyrus max mailbox size? (Not quota)

Hi,
Hopefully a quick question... I searched on the forums and web but to no avail, everything talked about quota.
I just wanted to know if there is a suggested limit for individual mailbox sizes in Cyrus (Theoretical or definitive)? What about the overall database size, any suggested or definitive limits there?
This is not a space concern (Mail servers raid6 has a good 1TB left). I mainly just want to know if there is a point where performance begins to suffer and / or if chance of database / mailbox corruption increases at a certain level. This is on a 10.5.6 xServe 8 core 4GB RAM connected to a promise raid6.
Naturally a reconstruct takes longer on a larger mbox and so on of course. Thanks in advance for any answers!

Hey Alex,
Quick followup if I may. For clarification sake. Do you mean per "user" or per "mailbox". IE: I have a user with 1.3GB in "inbox" for example but say they also have 700MB in a mailbox they created on the same IMAP account called "archive" and then another called "personal" at 300MB. Have I eclipsed the the best practice 2GB at this point or is it a per folder basis?
For example when I review these in cyrus admin they are of course separate but when viewing the user backup records as a whole through mailbfr, it combines all folders per user account as expected. Just wondering which value to go off.
Thanks for your continued help!

Sys.aq$_jms_text_message type queues message size limitations

Are there any size limitations for enqueing text messages into a sys.aq$_jms_text_message type queue using AQ?

yes, i understand how to describe something...
my question is how to get a list of properties.
this data type has get functions that take the name of a property. now how do i know that property name to get it?

Size limitation for system-jazn.xml

Hi helping hands,
In sytem-jazn-data.xml and users-properties.xml , I want to include 1 lakh users. When I tried 1 lakh users,the bpel engine is not getting restarted.
However I tried with 50k list of users, it works very fine.
Is there any file size limitations are there for those 2 files.
Could you suggest me an idea.
Regards
Viki

Hi,
I had to lookup what 1 lakh means and it appears to be 100.000? You should not put that many users in the system-jazn.xml file, not even 1000. It results in poor performance. You definitly should switch to OID or any other third party ldap server if you have that many users.
Kind Regards,
Andre

Email attachment size limitation

My boss has an I-Phone 4. What is the size limitation of email attachments he can send or receive? Spoke to AT&T who said it is an Apple issue.

Hi Shaju,
I would suggest the following solution path:
Execute the report (or whatever) and catch the output in an internal table. When using abap list output with the SUBMIT statement there's also an option to EXPORT LIST TO MEMORY and such. (I never used it but I've seen it working).
Then send this output as an attachment (and not as mail text). Attachment are passed "as-is", as long there's not format conversion active for this output. If you name the attachment list.ALF and in SAPConnect you have ALF-->TXT then your attachment's going to be converted. But this should still keep your line-size of > 255.
Best wishes,
Florin

Help calculating mailbox size

Hi,
What is the best way to calculate the maximum mailbox size I can give to my users?
I know how to set their quotas but I don't know what I can set it to. Is there a "maximum total of all mailboxes" size that is specified that I can divide by the number of users I have?
Vince

What is the best way to calculate the maximum mailbox size I can give to my users?
The design guide referrs you to the supported platforms list for this. The tables (e.g. Table 1) have a row labeled Approximate message storage, G-711 codec, minutes which gives you the total amount of minutes worth of storage. You can reference Table 3-1 Comparison of Audio Codecs Used for Recording from the design guide to convert between minutes and actual megabytes of storage consumed.
Please rate helpful replies.

Sga size limits

Hi all,
Is there a metalink note or oracle list of the SGA size limits on the different platforms and 32/64bit?

Not sure that there is such documents on My Oracle Support. However TECH: Unix Semaphores and Shared Memory Explained (Doc ID 15566.1) explains how Oracle is using Unix/Linux shared memory segments.
Generally speaking I would say that maximum sga size is not an Oracle limit but an OS limit: on Unix it depends on SHMxxx kernel parameters and on Windows I don't know as Oracle architecture is quite different from Unix (a single but multithreaded process using "normal" memory).

Generate detailed user information including Mailbox Size Information

Hello everyone,
Using the Exchange management console I was able to export mailbox information that include 'UserMailbox, LinkedMailbox, RoomMailbox and Shared Mailboxes' but I wanted to also include a column for mailbox usage data and export that to a CSV..
Exchange Management Console Output:
Get-Recipient -ResultSize 'unlimited' -SortBy DisplayName -RecipientType 'UserMailbox' -Filter '((((RecipientTypeDetails -like ''*UserMailbox*'') -or (RecipientTypeDetails -like ''*LinkedMailbox*'') -or (RecipientTypeDetails -like ''*RoomMailbox*'') -or
(RecipientTypeDetails -like ''*SharedMailbox*''))))' | Out-file c:\UserListing.csv
When I put in the following code:
Get-Recipient -ResultSize 'unlimited' -SortBy DisplayName -RecipientType 'UserMailbox' -Filter '((((RecipientTypeDetails -like ''*UserMailbox*'') -or (RecipientTypeDetails -like ''*LinkedMailbox*'') -or (RecipientTypeDetails -like ''*RoomMailbox*'') -or
(RecipientTypeDetails -like ''*SharedMailbox*''))))' | Get-MailboxStatistics | select TotalItemSize | Out-file c:\UserListWithMBSIze.csv
This will only output the mailbox stats information in one column.
Does anyone know how to generate a listing that will include the following:
DisplayName, SamAccountName, LastModified Date, Organization Unit, Mailbox Size Data
Exchange 2010 Outlook 2007 (cache mode)

Thanks Amit!
This command works perfectly on an individual mailbox.
ie:
get-mailbox identity "Bob Jones" | Get-MailboxStatistics | select displayname, @{expression={(Get-Recipient $_.DisplayName).SamAccountName};name="SamAccountName"},@{expression={(Get-Recipient $_.DisplayName).OrganizationalUnit};name="OrganizationalUnit"}, @{expression={$_.totalitemsize.value.ToMB()};name="Size(MB)"} | Export-CSV Mailboxes.csv -NoTypeInformation
But if I try and use the same command for all mailboxes it's missing the OU information and SamAccountName is missing but displays the MB size and name.

Public Folder To Mailbox Map Generator maximum mailbox size

Hello,
I am in the planning stages of a 2010 to 2013 public folder migration.
Upon running the following script to generate the mailbox mappings in 2013 I receive the following error regarding the maximum mailbox size requested.
[PS] C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\scripts>.\PublicFolderToMailboxMapGenerator.ps1 5120MB E:\Migration\

[25/11/2014 11:32:08] Unable to load public folders...
I want to set the maximum mailbox size to 5GB, however it seems that this is not possible given that some of the existing folders exceed the maximum mailbox size specified.
I have increased the mailbox size gradually until there are no errors reported, but this leaves me with a maximum mailbox size of 50GB which is not what I require.
There is circa 45 GB of data in the PF hierarcy currently, with the largest folder containing around 42 GB of data.
I thought the idea was that the mapping generator would split the public folder data up and distribute it across multiple mailboxes as required?
Can anyone assist with achieving this please?
Regards
Matt

Hi Belinda,
Thanks for the reply. I've done some more investigating, as I thought the public folders sizes being reported were larger than expected.
Upon running the Get-PublicFolderStatistics cmdlet across the public folder hierarchy I can indeed see that the largest public folder we have is only 4.46GB in size, not the 42GB being reported by the generator.

Going back a step - before running the PublicFolderToMailboxMapGenerator.ps1
, the issue is initially occurs when running the Export-PublicFolderStatistics.ps1 as this is where the folder sizes are calculated and output to the PFMapNameToSize.csv. This is where the folder size is inflated by 10 times!
Is this a bug?
Does anyone know how to change this behaviour?

Matt
