Users don’t receive Mailbox Quota Warnings in Microsoft Exchange 2010 SP1/SP2 – Quota Warnings Aren’t Generated

Resolutions:

We are going to add the necessary flag.

Add the following registry key and restart the Information Store. Quota notification emails will start working, and people will start getting them once a day if they have exceeded the quota value.

Run Regedit, and go to the following:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CCS\Services\MsExchangeIS\ParametersSystem

Create a New DWORD Value.

Type CheckWarningQuota , and then press Enter.

Right-click CheckWarningQuota, and then click Modify.

In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.

Exit the Registry and restart the Information Store.
