  2. The MailboxCountQuota policy is not enforced correctly in an Exchange Server 2010 hosting mode

The MailboxCountQuota policy is not enforced correctly in an Exchange Server 2010 hosting mode

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the follow scenario:
  • You install Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 in hosting mode by using the /hosting switch.
  • You create a tenant organization in this environment.
  • You run the Set-RecipientEnforcementProvisioningPolicy cmdlet to specify the maximum number of mailboxes that can be created in the tenant organization.
  • You create two additional mailboxes within 5 minutes when only one mailbox can be created based on the specified maximum number.
In this scenario, both mailboxes are created successfully.

Note The expected result is that the second mailbox, which exceeds the maximum limit, should fail with the following error message:

The following error occurred during validation in agent 'Provisioning Policy Agent': 'The number of "Mailbox" objects in the organization "Organization Name" has reached or exceeded the resource quota (the number of quota) enforced by policy "Organization Name\Recipient QuotaPolicy".'
