Exchange Server - Storage quotas

I would like to set that all users have 500 MB mailbox size, and then for
some users to have 1 GB.
So i set the storage limit on the Mailbox Database Properties to 500 MB,
and then i set the Storage Quota on specific user's mailbox to  1GB  but it
seems that the settings on the mailbox database properties is not
overriden by the setting on the mailbox (storage quota).
Is there a way to do this or i need to create a new storage group?

What makes you think "seems"? What's happening because what you have
done is correct.

(The recipient mailbox has 600 MB in his mailbox)
After setting as mentioned, the mail sent to the recipient (mailbox that i
setup) is returned with masseage that the recipient mailbox is full.

How long did you wait?  Such changes can take two hours to take effect.

You want to turn on logging for the incoming and outgoing replication messages. Also turn of this folder on the new system. So i re-mounted the old public folder database on the old Exchange 2003 server, set added the old database as a replica on the Organizational Forms folder, and waited. Now the Properties page shows

Exchange 2010 Database Size Exchange Server I am experimenting with Exch 2003 -> 2010 migration in my test lab, and I have a couple of questions: 1. The mailbox database is about 50 GB on disk in Exchange 2003. In Exchange 2010 it is over GB! Is this normal? Is this because the page size has increased? 2. Since this database is over 100 GB, I am inclined to break it up into smaller DBs. What I suspect that something much smaller is actually ideal. Suggestions? Thank you!

In this day and age, 100GB is not that large a database. But it is a good thing to have more smaller databases becuase they are quicker around for the last week or so, and I still have no idea why the database grew so much. It has about 350 MB of white space, so that is not the deal. But in truth, it might not be the database after all. In the mailbox database folder there are many many many (more than 56

DAG disk space database copies Exchange Server lets say i have 3 servers in my DAG, each server has 4 databases, each database is 100 gigs, total storage size is now roughly 400 gigs. I now make copies of each database, my storage has now doubled 100x8 = 800 gigs. It appears that anytime i need HA for a database i need to double my storage? Because we have already invested heavily in SAN storage raw data on the SAN in order to acomodate 400 gigs of useable data for database storage, (and I have not even mentioned anything about storage for the logs) Now if SAN data just for the databases. Also how does having 3 copies of a mailbox database cut down on my scheduled backups? still not understanding this Seems like a lot of in order to achieve HA?

Database Space Recovery Exchange Server Guys, I have about 30GB of recoverable space on my database yet still my disk has on 5GB free.
