The Boss - no restrictions what so ever. No mailbox quota, no file size attachment, owa, outlook mobile (and the ability to read everyone elses email too). Yes I know this isn't practical (especially in the file size attachment but several bosses insist on it)</p> <p>2. Senior Management - No quota, 25mb limit, outlook web and mobile access.</p> <p>3. Standard users - 500mb to 1gb limit (2gb would be nice as that is what google gives but gives backup headaches), owa access</p> <p>4. shop floor users - 100mb mailbox, no owa, no oma, no external email - internal only.</p> <p>The problem is that numbers do not really scale well. A typical sbs site can probably afford to give everyone 1gb mailboxes as they are not going to hit the store limit,however do that on a company with 200 employees and you really have to be tight with storage. Also to a certain extent it relys on the client mail package too - no point in having small quotas if you force everyone to archive and then they loose work as their mail gets to greater than 2gb on outlook 2000.)</p> <p>On a side note - I'd love to hear a real world solution on how users should archive data away from the server to pst files (to reduce their quota) but at the same time have backups of their email and NOT put them on a network drive for backup purposes (with the problems this causes with speed and corruption)</p> http://blogs.technet.com/caseymck/archive/2007/05/26/question-for-you-how-many-types-of-email-users-do-you-have-at-your-company.aspx#2359663Wed, 07 Nov 2007 21:26:52 GMTd5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:2359663Crewdawg<p>I would say their are 3 - 4 Templates that would be useful (we have 220 Mailboxes on Exchange 2003 Standard:</p> <p>Senior Managment (including Boss and those with Three Letter Titles)</p> <p>No Quota</p> <p>25MB Send Limit</p> <p>OWA</p> <p>OMA</p> <p>Management (entry level managers / power users)</p> <p>2GB Quota</p> <p>25MB Send Limit</p> <p>OWA</p> <p>OMA</p> <p>Standard User (office worker)</p> <p>500MB Quota</p> <p>10MB Send Limit</p> <p>OWA</p> <p>Restricted User (floor worker)</p> <p>100MB Quota</p> <p>3MB Send Limit</p> <p>Possibly OWA Only</p>
