EXAMPLE 2

This example removes a customized quota message for a mailbox size warning.

Detailed Description

DSN messages are issued to the sender of email messages that haven't reached their intended recipients. Quota messages are issued to users whose mailboxes or public folders have reached the specific warning, prohibit send, or prohibit receive quotas. Customized DSN and quota messages replace the built-in DSN or quota messages included with Exchange.

Note:
Only customized DSN and quota messages can be removed from the server. Built-in DSN and quota messages can't be removed. When a customized DSN or quota message is removed, the message text reverts to the built-in text included with Exchange.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "DSNs" entry in the Mail Flow Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
Identity	Required	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.SystemMessageIdParameter	The Identity parameter specifies the DSN or quota message you want to remove. You can also identify a customized DSN message by using the following format: language\internal \| external\system code. For more information about the syntax of the DSN message identity, see DSN Message Identity. You can identify a customized quota message by using the following format: Language\QuotaMessageType. Language is expressed as the two-character locale code. QuotaMessageType accepts the following values: `WarningMailboxUnlimitedSize`: Issued when a mailbox that has no prohibit send quota or prohibit receive quota exceeds the specified mailbox warning limit. `WarningPublicFolderUnlimitedSize`: Issued when a public folder that has no prohibit send quota or prohibit receive quota exceeds the specified public folder warning limit. `WarningMailbox`: Issued when a mailbox that has a prohibit send quota or prohibit receive quota exceeds the specified mailbox warning limit. `WarningPublicFolder`: Issued when a public folder that has a prohibit send quota or prohibit receive quota exceeds the specified public folder warning limit. `ProhibitSendMailbox`: Issued when a mailbox that has a prohibit send quota exceeds the specified mailbox size limit. `ProhibitPostPublicFolder`: Issued when a public folder that has a prohibit send quota exceeds the specified public folder size limit. `ProhibitSendReceiveMailBox`: Issued when a mailbox that has a prohibit send quota and prohibit receive quota exceeds the specified mailbox send and receive size limit. You can omit the Identity parameter label.
Confirm	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The Confirm switch can be used to suppress the confirmation prompt that appears by default when this cmdlet is run. To suppress the confirmation prompt, use the syntax `-Confirm:$False`. You must include a colon ( `:` ) in the syntax.
DomainController	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn	The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory.
WhatIf	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The WhatIf switch instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf switch, you can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes. You don't have to specify a value with the WhatIf switch.
