paging Richard Mueller... Richard Mueller, please come to the front desk

Richard,

Sorry to bother you but you have helped me in the past when no one else
could. I have a seemingly simple task but am struggling and becoming
frustrated. In VBScript (that will later be ported to ASP) I need to do the
following:

Prompt for AD username (must be SAMAccountName)
Display that users current Exchange mailbox size in MB
Display the size limit imposed on that users mailbox

The size limit is the biggest problem. If the user is NOT using defaults,
and a custom limit has been set in AD, this should be easy enough to get.
But if the user IS using the default size limit for his mailbox store, I
have no idea how to first figure out what policy governs his store, and then
read the policy to get the imposed limit. If you have an example of this I
would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you

yes. doesnt give size limit. only gives an integer that denotes whether the
mailbox is below limit, above limit, etc...
