One I have used with some success is the use of Exchange as a file server. The larger their quota is, the more "important" things tend to wind up there. If they start using it as a file server, and want something restored they are hosed. (unless you are doing a <cough>brick-level backup</cough>, or can take the time/find the space to restore the entire store...)

Things that come to mind are that if we give users unlimited stores, we will have to buy more disk space in time. Also we have a single processor server with 512 ram. So I would make a WAG and say that we will be looking at a second processor and more RAM. I am already looking at more RAM since our server is paging quite a bit. And as we implement archiving and journaling this will impact disk space as well as the backup (time, number of tapes). I also realize that allowing unlimited space leads to users never managing their e-mail. So besides these reasons are there any other reasons that I should be thinking about? Thanks.
