Exchange Quota


Quotas
The Back Office Group has setup Exchange Quota limits on user mailboxes. The quota limits were derived from data collected from many higher education institutes. At the moment the quota limits set by the Back Office Group are considered to be quite high comparing to other universities.

The need to archive data has generated a great demand for more storage space but the Back Office Group does not consider an Exchange Mailbox as a location to archive mail or other data. The Help Desk and other UTD Techs are trained in helping the end user setup alternatives to archiving data in the Exchange Mailbox.
