my point is that this should be in the web admin along with everything else.

Actually it has nothing to do with the type of app.. The adduser utility never paid any attention to the default user settings

these are the kind of problems you run into when still you're using Windows 3.11 apps along with a web app. This functionality should be already built into 2006 iadmin.

Eric,

Exactly correct.  Setting the max mailbox size on the domain and in the "default user settings" did not cause users created with adduser.exe to adopt this setting.  Adding users via the iMail 2006.04 web admin did cause users to adopt this setting.

The adddomain string I'm using is:
adddomain -h mail.domain.ext -I VIRTUAL -x 30000000 -l 20000000 -t E:\iMail\Imail\mail.domain.ext -a domain.ext

The adduser string I'm using is:
adduser -h mail.domain.ext -u UserName -p "XXXXX"

Both seem to add users to the registry consistent with the data created via the web-driven process, except for the MaxSize reg key in the user's node.

Clearly adduser.exe doesn't look at this domain default key when creating users.  Very frustrating.

I did use Matt's recommendation to edit the registry in bulk and reimport, but this is a very locked-down data center.  Following change controls for importing registry keys is a very painful and lengthy process.

Thanks

Using the adddomain and setting the max size setting should set this at the 
domain level. Did it not? If it did then everyone on that domain will be 
covered by it unless you assign them a different value individually

Subject: [IMail Forum] AddUser.exe and Mailbox Quotas


  
This may be a trivial question, but...

I created several hundred mail domains in iMail 2006.04 via the 
AddDomain.exe utility.  I did specify a default mailbox size.

When creating users using adduser.exe, the new users do not adopt the 
default mailbox size.  I then remembered the "Default User Settings" 
section of User Administration.  This did not get set by the adddomain.exe 
util.  I set it manually and then created another account using 
adduser.exe, but it still didn't adopt the quota size.

Is there a way to specify the mailbox quota for users from the command 
line utils that isn't published?  I do *not* want to edit several thousand 
users one by one in the registry.

I know I can go back in after creating users and use the "Global User 
Change" util in Web Administration, but I didn't want to do that for 
several hundred domains either.

Thanks to anyone with some insight...
