Hello Victor,



you will at least need an account that can access all mailboxes (not a domain admins one)

(or give a script to everyone that they will execute)


To my knowledge, quota is mailbox based. You may set up a special retention on this folder.


sample _vbscript_ to create the private folder

set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")    

set inbox = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI").getDefaultFolder(6) 

set temp5 = inbox.folders.add("Private",6) 


hope it helps,


Regards,

Mathieu CHATEAU

Does anybody know what is the 'best' way to add automatically a folder to existing mailboxes and set a quota on that same folder?

We would like all our users to get a folder called "private" added to the root of their mailbox and if possible, a quota to be set to that folder.

 

Can this be done by scripting easily or is there perhaps even a tool which is capable of doing this?

 

This also counts for new, still to be created users. I mean, every user that will be created will have to have that certain folder added to his or her mailbox.

Offcourse this could be done by running the script a couple of times a day, checking if the folder exists allready and if not, adding it. Or perhaps it can even by realised the moment a user has been created.

 

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
