Detailed Description

The Get-SystemMessage cmdlet displays default and customized DSN and quota messages. You can retrieve a customized DSN or quota message by specifying the identity of the message by using the Identity parameter. You can retrieve a list of built-in DSN or quota messages by using the Original parameter.

DSN messages are issued to the sender of e-mail 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.

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.
