I had a recent request to adjust all send and receive size limits on all mailboxes in one of my customer organizations. They had different admins set different levels for different groups and the CIO wanted them all the same now to reduce requests. He wanted them set to the Maximum Size of 150MB so that nobody would complain. He also wanted a count of mailboxes that were not compliant with the 150MB setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, I came up with the following script to run. Feel free to take it and adjust it to maybe do a different mailbox group as this one does ALL mailboxes. I did set the script to let you choose what size limit you want (up to the limit of 150MB). Again, this is for Exchange Online so have a look and enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n
