Smith Sent: 11 October 2011 16:55 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: How do I exclude the calendar from mailbox quotas I would be reviewing what the heck they are using the calendars FOR. While Outlook provides you the capability of dropping documents and other attachments into calendar items, that’s almost always a mistake. That information should be kept in a case management system. Your general calendar entry is only a few KB in size (depending on the size of the invitee list). It takes a LOT of calendar entries to take up even a few MB of entries. Regards, Michael B.

The issue we now have is that some user's calendars have grown so large that the quotas are impacting their work flow. Does anyone have any suggestions or know of a 3rd party product to facilitate this need. I initially thought about using some combination of E2010 archive features and a managed folder policy, but Outlook 2007 cant view the archived folders. We are 100% Exchange 2010 SP1 RU 3v3 on Windows Server 2008 R2 RTM. Our clients are all Outlook 2007 SP2. Keith D..
