FWIW, if you did want to do this with some custom provisioning (or even after mailbox-enabling a user) it seems the protocolSettings attribute is the one you need to manipulate.
There's not a great deal of information available about protocolSettings, but there's some here: http://redmondmag.com/columns/article.asp?EditorialsID=638 http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/e2k3/e2 k3/_clb_enumerating_exchange_object_properties_with_adsi_ado_vb.asp And here's a sample script for setting mailbox limits by OU and by group, which you could perhaps rework for the protocolSettings attribute. http://blogs.brnets.com/michael/archive/2004/11/18/244.aspx Tony -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andy SCHAN Sent: 11 February 2005 13:53 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: POP3 on Exchange 2003 Thanks for the reply.
