Re: Can user storage limit settings be applied over an Exch system pol

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Ed:
Yes, individual settings on a user account will override the Exchange
System policies. It might be an hour or so before you notice the changes
take effect due to caching and replication, though. The only permissions
you need to set this is the permissions to manage the user account. No
Exchange permissions are necessary. However, you could set custom
permissions on the user account objects so that your OU admins cannot change
a user's limits.
