Symptoms
Consider the follow scenario:
-
You install Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 in hosting mode by using the /hosting switch.
-
You create a tenant organization in this environment.
-
You run the Set-RecipientEnforcementProvisioningPolicy cmdlet to specify the maximum number of mailboxes that can be created in the tenant organization.
-
You create two additional mailboxes within 5 minutes when only one mailbox can be created based on the specified maximum number.
In this scenario, both mailboxes are created successfully.
Note The expected result is that the second mailbox, which exceeds the maximum limit, should fail with the following error message:
The following error occurred during validation in agent 'Provisioning Policy Agent': 'The number of "Mailbox" objects in the organization "Organization Name" has reached or exceeded the resource quota (the number of quota) enforced by policy "Organization Name\Recipient QuotaPolicy".'
Cause
This issue occurs because the mailbox count is read asynchronously, and the mailbox count in the cache is not updated when the mailbox which exceeds the limit is created.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, install the following update rollup:

Status
