From: Chris Puckett [MSFT] on 26 Apr 2010 14:10 Did you uncheck the "email quota" on the actual account or on the network administrator role (template)? Doing so on the role will affect all users who have been assigned that role. -- Chris Puckett This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

I just restored the server to the last good backup before the problem, rebooted, went in and did the uncheck quota, and it worked fine, tried it a couple more times and no problem. So, system ended up being trashed because removing the EMAIL account, though the Exchange Manager, deleted the Windows Account for "Support" that was the "Network Administrator" setup account.... Recreating the account didn't resolve issues because the SID was different.... Thank the gods for good backups! -- You can't trust your best friends, your five senses, only the little voice inside you that most civilians don't even hear -- Listen to that.
