Managing Exchange Federations with VBScript

  • [アーティクル]

Recently, I've been discussing a problem I am working with a federated customer that involves mailbox storage limits. I've described the problem in previous posts, as well as some potential ways to audit delegated administrations that have set overrides on mailbox size for their users. This post uses a similar mechanism, but does so with VBScript, instead of the standard administration tools.

This script will output all users that are in violation of the policy by checking to see whether the mDBUseDefaults attribute on a mail-enabled user has been set to TRUE. That indicates that they have cleared the Use Mailbox Store Defaults checkbox on the Storage Limits dialog box from the Exchange General tab of user properties. 

By default, if we find a match, we output the actual override settings to the command line (please note that if you execute such a script from the windows shell, instead of the cScript command, you'll get a message box for each match). In addition, I added some code to look for a specific argument passed to the script ("/C"). If present, the script will actually clear the override values and reset the Use Mailbox Store Defaults checkbox to checked.

Of course, the script could be further modified with another override (such as checking an extensionAttribute) so that if you do have users approved by the central authority to have overrides set, you can put a value into one of those fields and use an IF/Then to exclude them from the change behavior.

    Just wanted to say that I have exactly the same problem and your code is very valuable in chasing down mailbox limit scofflaws.
