Exchange Sends Storage Limit Warning E-Mail Message Every 15 Minutes (329275)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server

This article was previously published under Q329275

SYMPTOMS

In Exchange 2000 Mailbox Manager, you can schedule the time that storage-warning limits are sent to users. This is configured in Exchange System Manager by viewing the properties of your storage limit system policy. During this time, users may receive four messages that warn them that their limit has been reached.

CAUSE

By default, the warning message interval is set to an hourly view. However, Exchange 2000 Server reads this information as if it were in 15 minute segments. Because the whole hour is selected, the server sends four messages. It is a problem that the GUI for Exchange System Manager displays the hourly view instead of the 15-minute view.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, set the detailed view in Exchange System Manager to 15 minutes, and then select one block of time instead of the four blocks of time that are initially selected. After you do so, only one message is sent during the designated warning message interval.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
