<chains> i want to find a way to monitor people's mailbox sizes and be notified when a user's mailbox size is over 3GB. anyone know how to go about this?
<wlse_pro> WMI
<wlse_pro> SNMP
<chains> ?
<wlse_pro> hell, VBS can do it too
<chains> wlse_pro, can you explain in better detail?
<wlse_pro> yes, write a script using WMI/SNMP that pulls mailbox values
<chains> but i only want to be notified when they surp*** 3gb
<wlse_pro> alright, sounds like a plan
<chains> not something that will just report everything back when i choose to run it
<wlse_pro> hop to it.
<wlse_pro> if usermb > 3gb send page to me
<wlse_pro> next usermb
<chains> i don't know how to write scripts
<wlse_pro> therein lies your problem. :P
<chains> yep
<chains> how complicated would a script like that be?
<chains> would something like that be available somewhere at microsoft.com?
<wlse_pro> scriptomatic might do it
<chains> what is that?
<g0dspeed> google for it
<wlse_pro> scriptomatic is scriptomatic
<g0dspeed> come on
<wlse_pro> no other way to describe it
<g0dspeed> you can find tons of examples how to write wmi scripts on google
<wlse_pro> i think there's even a wmiomatic now too
<wlse_pro> for WMI scripts
<wlse_pro> but i just write those myself
<g0dspeed> ;)
<wlse_pro> google for "wmi exchange mailbox size"
<wlse_pro> and hit I'm Feeling Lucky
<wlse_pro> copy, paste, pray
<chains> i got scriptomatic
<chains> i opened it in explorer
<chains> ie
<chains> but i don't know which cl*** i'm supposed to open
<wlse_pro> google for "wmi exchange mailbox size"
<wlse_pro> but i just write those myself
<wlse_pro> and hit I'm Feeling Lucky
<wlse_pro> copy, paste, pray
<chains> heh
<wlse_pro> s/but i just write those myself//
<chains> wlse_pro, do you know how to do what this guy is suggesting:
<chains> http://tinyurl.com/bzs6z
<wlse_pro> yes
<wlse_pro> create a new recipient policy
<chains> i've never done that
<chains> is it simple?
<wlse_pro> are you the mail admin?
<chains> no
<wlse_pro> then it would be quite difficult.
<chains> but my mail admin is lazy
<chains> and he put me in charge of this stupid "mailbox police"
<wlse_pro> you need access to the ESM
<wlse_pro> at any rate.
<chains> i can access it
<chains> one sec
<wlse_pro> oh okay
<chains> i have access to almost anything he does
<wlse_pro> open up the ESM
<chains> one sec
<wlse_pro> open recipients
<wlse_pro> right click on recipient policies
<wlse_pro> and goto new policy
<chains> ahh
<chains> got it
<wlse_pro> and select a new mailbox manager setting
<wlse_pro> it should be self explanatory from there
<wlse_pro> and it better be because i haev whiskey to drink
<chains> well
<chains> you can drink and help me
<chains> i'll drink with you
<chains> i got a couple of bottles here
<chains> it looks like it should be
<wlse_pro> i have to go home to drink
<chains> but i can't seem to find the part where i specify myself as the person to notify
<wlse_pro> so no type-y
<chains> ohhh
<wlse_pro> just work through it
<wlse_pro> you'll get it
<chains> heh
<wlse_pro> trial and error is fun!
<chains> yah but i'm at a wall, really
<chains> do you have access to an exchange server right now?
<chains> can you take a quick look?
<chains> if so
<wlse_pro> yes, i'm staring at mine
<chains> i mean, all the options are all set really.. i just need to find a way so that i'm notified
<chains> where is that option, do you see one?
<chains> i'm trying to create a new recipient policy that will notify me when users mailboxes exceed 3GB. i don't see an option to specify who to be notified
<wlse_pro> right click on your exchange sever
<wlse_pro> goto properties
<wlse_pro> and goto mailbox management
<wlse_pro> you select notification there
<nef> when mailboxes exceed 3gb?
<nef> you arent serious are you?
<wlse_pro> nef: he is
<nef> large mailboxes cause all kinds of problems
<chains> is that a lot?
<wlse_pro> uh
<wlse_pro> yes
<wlse_pro> thats 2.5GB too large:
<chains> we've come a long way
<nef> most companies set it to ~250 megs
<nef> heh
<wlse_pro> my exec's get 1gb
<chains> to get that far :)
<chains> some people have 30gb
<chains> mailboxes
<wlse_pro> company at large gets 500mb
<nef> chains: hahahahahahaha
<wlse_pro> jesus
<wlse_pro> that's ****ed
<chains> yah, ****s
<chains> yah it is
<wlse_pro> quit and run.
<chains> haha
<nef> chains: with 30 gig mailboxes you WILL have problems
<wlse_pro> seriously, that exchange server will kill you.
<chains> i've only been at this company for a year
<nef> perf has to **** on that box
<wlse_pro> poor server :(
<wlse_pro> anyhow, did you get the answer, chains?
<wlse_pro> right click on your server under servers
<wlse_pro> goto properties
<wlse_pro> and goto mailbox management
<wlse_pro> you can set times to run
<wlse_pro> and notification options
<wlse_pro> and its time for me to go home
<wlse_pro> later
<chains> how do i see who is set as the administrator?
<chains> or can i change administrator to a specific user?
<chains> ahh
<chains> i see
<chains> i think
<chains> so
<chains> i set up that recipient policy first?
<chains> then set this to send it to me?
<chains> 2 separate things?
<Adonis> sup dawgs
<chains> trying to figure out a problem i'm having
<chains> i need to figure out a way to have exchange notify me if anyone's mailbox exceeds 3GB
<chains> wlse_pro started to help but i believe he left
<Adonis> you should make it way smaller than 3 gigs
<Adonis> that's a lot
<Adonis> per user
<chains> yah but it's not my call
<Adonis> you need to make it your call
<Adonis> that's the job
<Drakh> oohhhhhhh
<Adonis> make them understand
