The mailbox database properties under the limits tab are checked with the 
following:
Issue Warning at (MB)  120
Prohibit send at (MB) 140
Prohibit send and receive at (MB) 160

On the user's mailbox properties, Mailbox Settings tab, Storage Quotas, I have 
the "Use mailbox database defaults" checked.
So the value of the mailbox database limits should propagate to the user's 
mailbox, right?  That doesn't seem to be happening.

default limits

They are database defaults. They don't propagate.

If the users have no value (i.e., unlimited) then if "usedatabasedefaults" is 
set on the user object, then the database defaults are checked. Otherwise the 
user is unlimited.

Works as intended. Been this way since Exchange 4.0.

limits

Exchange 2010, SP2, UR6
On each of my databases I have set default limits of say 120, 140, and 160MB.
When I run the following script:

Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Select-Object DisplayName, 
IssueWarningQuota, ProhibitSendQuota, 
@{label="TotalItemSize(MB)";expression={(Get-MailboxStatistics 
$_).TotalItemSize.Value.ToMB()}}, 
@{label="ItemCount";expression={(Get-MailboxStatistics $_).ItemCount}}, 
Database | Export-Csv "C:\Scripts\UserMailboxSizes.csv" -NoTypeInformation

all the users that have Use the Mailbox Database Defaults show up as Unlimited.
Users that I have set limits individually on show up correctly.  This is not a 
replication issue.  They have been set up like this for days.  It is only 
because I ran the script above that this came to light.  Event logs look good.  
Databases on a 3-node DAG - everything is healthy.
Can someone point me to what would keep the mailbox database defaults from 
propagating to the mailboxes?
