You administer a Windows Essential Business Server 2008 environment. All clients use the Messaging Server to send and receive e-mails. All clients have a default mailbox size limit.

C.
Use the Set-MailboxDatabase cmdlet with the IssueWarningQuota parameter.
D.

Explanation:
You should use the Set-Mailbox cmdlet with the ProhibitSendReceiveQuota parameter. You can configure the ProhibitSendReceiveQuota parameter to specify the mailbox size at which the user associated with this mailbox can no longer send or receive messages. You can configure the ProhibitSendReceiveQuota parameter for a mailbox database or an individual mailbox. When you set the ProhibitSendReceiveQuota parameter on a mailbox, that mailbox setting overrides the value that is set for the ProhibitSendReceiveQuota parameter on the mailbox database. Alternatively, you can configure the storage limits for a mailbox on the Mailbox Settings tab in the properties dialog box of the mail user.You should not run the Set-MailboxDatabase cmdlet with the ProhibitSendReceiveQuota parameter. This command configures storage quotas on a per-database basis. When you configure quotas for a mailbox database, it is applied to all mailboxes in that database unless the mailbox is configured not to use mailbox database defaults. Configuring quotas for a mailbox database is useful when you want all mail users to have the same mailbox size limits. In this scenario, you want to increase the mailbox size limit only for a single user. Therefore, you should run the Set-Mailbox cmdlet instead of the Set-MailboxDatabase cmdlet.
You should not run the Set-MailboxDatabase cmdlet with the IssueWarningQuota parameter because the IssueWarningQuota parameter cannot be used to specify the mailbox size limit. The IssueWarningQuota parameter specifies the mailbox size at which a warning message is sent to the user informing the user that the user’s mailbox is about to reach its size limit. The IssueWarningQuota parameter in the Set-MailboxDatabase cmdlet applies to all mailboxes in a mailbox database that do not have an individual warning quota parameter set.
