Exchange doesn't really have a built in way to do that (I haven't tried in E2K, but in 5.5 limits were just warnings and users could keep putting in mail to their heart's content). I'd think it may be worthwhile to step back and look at how and why PFs are used in your organization.
Without knowing exactly how they are used in your org, let me present a typical scenario... There are some public folders which contain information for all employees (HR manual, holidays doc, etc) and then for other groups within the company (Auto Insurance, Home Owners Insurance, Accounting) there are PFs created for workflow or departmental sharing. For these groups, establishing a total quota for all PF usage seems to make sense and then those groups can manage their quotas within those limits. It helps if the PF hierarchy maps to this in same way.... How I'd manage it... If they need additional space, bill them for the additional space. Let them create whatever they want/need for PFs and usage within their hierachy and provide them with a detailed report on a monthly basis with their usage and a charge to their department for any overage. If that doesn't work, you could likely write a server side script or event to enforce storage limits, but it might be a bit tricky. www.cdolive.com would be a good place to start on a scripted solution. -- Chris Scharff, MVP-Exchange Happy USAA customer since 1996 MessageOne Emergency Messaging System: http://www.messageone.com/EMS.asp Free Custom OWA Screens: http://www.messageone.com/m1owa/index.asp On 2/3/03 9:32, "Microsoft Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: In Exchange 2000, they now have storage limits for Public Folders. My question is how do you limit a tree of folders to a certain size? For example, if you grant someone permissions to a public folder and limit the space to 10 mg but allow him to create subfolders, he can create an unlimited amount of subfolders all with 10 mg limits. Without taking away creation of sub folders, how do you limit him to 10 mg?
