Set limit on the number of mailboxes per domain

Company administrators are allowed to specify the maximum number of mailboxes that can be created for each domain. Even if you have set a default mailbox limit for all the domains within your company, you can still change the limits for particular domains. Once set, the limit cannot be exceeded. If you are restoring an account that would result in more mailboxes than allowed, you will get an error message, and the restore will not proceed. In that case, you would have to increase the limit and then retry the restore.
