[PS] C:\>.\SetEVThrottlingPolicy.ps1 -user domain\evsvc Successfully connected to [Exchange Server] Using Domain Controller: DC1.domain.com Invalid parameter value: -User does not contain a user with a mailbox. Please pass in a valid username. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We can open the mailbox correctly. SetEvPermissions script rund correctly, Add-AddPermissions also runs correctly. Only Throttling fails with this error. The user name "evsvc" is also the alias & the mailbox name, so no chance we are wrong regarding username. Running this on evsvc01 & evsvc02 (system mqilboxes for exchange 2010) - same error on Throttling policy, no errors on the rest of the scripts. Anyone see this issue before?

after many tests with Symantec, it was decided to go with this way: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH157927

It was so easy I was sorry not to know this before as well.

After fighting for 4 hours with the throttling script, this TN solved the issue in 3 minutes.

That workaround to create it manually sounds easy enough, and i've not come across that one technote. Thanks for sharing.

  Hi,
  I know that this post is from years back but i came accross this error and the URL is not valid. Does anyone have the powershell commands that did the trick?
  Thanks in advance,

    Hello Argiris,
    
    Instead of adding a question to a year old post, create a new one, and put in the link to the old discussion.
    
    As for your question, check This or this KB's.
    
    Might assist you in getting what you need.

Run the command I copy and pasted in.. That's what is giving you the error. If it errors, its a Microsoft issue

Hi Sarah, Rob is spot with this being dc/gc thing I had similar issues in a multiple domain scenario. Try running it against a dc in the same domain as the mailbox with -domaincontroller switch and specify fqdn of dc. Also maybe a user rights thingy.

OK, this is a multiple domain environment.

We tried EVERY dc.

still same error...

I'll continue the installation new, and take care of throttling later.
