Hi,

I have exchange 2007. Is there a way to set an auto-email alert to be send to Exchange Admin when any user reach his/her mailbox limit? Let say User has 20 GB quota limit applied on DB level, Warning at 19 GB and complete block at 21 GB. I want to know in advance when user reach 18 GB of space, an email is generated to me. I have already gone through

But i think the method of transport rule is when quota is applied to mailbox individually. I have applied Quota limit at DB level.

Hi

I dont think it is easy to archive, the only way is to run a script to calculate the usage of the user and then compare with 18G，if it is above that limit, send the message to you, it need to run maybe every 2 hours or every day. You can use Schedule task to save and run that script.

Hi

This might be a long Script, I could give you some advice.

To get the usage, you can use the command Get-MailboxStatistics

Eg， Get-MailboxStatistics -Identity User1 | FL TotalItemSize

To Compare you can use “If" to make a judgement

Then for send a message to admin，you can refer to this blog

And For Schedule task, please have a look at this link from Mike Pfeiffer
