If you are a service provider and you own the server (have not sold it to a reseller), you can change the server's:
Name
Description
Resource Usage Warning Level
Pool
State and Owner (by selling the server)
ISA Server Host Name
Resource Limits (both the limit set for each resource type and the actual resource capacity of the server)
If you are a service provider who has sold the server to a reseller, you can change the server's:
Actual resource limit (the actual resource capacity available on the server). This is the amount used when determining the resource usage warning level.
Changes you make appear in your control panel. However, they do not filter down to the reseller who owns the server. The current owner has final authority to change these settings as well as the settings for pool, state, owner, and available resources. Changes made by the current owner do not appear in your control panel.
If you are a reseller who has purchased the server from a service provider and who has not sold the server to another reseller, you can change the server's:
Resource Limits for each resource type
If you are a reseller who has sold the server to another reseller, you can change the server's:
On the top navigation bar, click resources.
Click the resources tab.
On the resources list, select the resource whose information you want to change.
On the action bar above the resource list, click edit. If this option is disabled after you select the option button to the left of a hosting server, you cannot change the resource information.
To go to the edit page for a mailbox store:
On the resources list, select the mailbox store whose information you want to change. Or, select the parent of a mailbox store that is part of a block of mailbox stores.
Click overview.
On the server overview page select the Hosted Exchange 2003 service, then click overview.
On the Service Component Instance Shortcuts page, click View Configuration.
If the resource is not part of a block of mailbox stores, click Edit on the action bar at the top of the page. If the resource is part of a block of mailbox stores, scroll down to the Exchange resource list section, select the mailbox store whose information you want to change, then click Edit on the action bar above the list.
Changing resource or hosting server properties
Login level required for this task: Systems
The resource or hosting server information you can change depends on whether you are:
A service provider who owns the server
A service provider who has sold the server to a reseller
A reseller who owns the server
A reseller who has sold the server to another reseller
To change a resource or hosting server's name, description, resource usage warning level, ISA host name, or resources:
Go to the edit page for the server or resource.
Change any of the following properties:
If you have sold the resource, the changes you make appear in your control panel, but they do not filter down to the reseller who owns the server. The current owner has final authority to change these settings as well as the settings for pool, state, owner, and available resources. If you need to change a setting in a server you have sold, you can use autologin.
Name. The resource name. Resellers cannot change the names of resources.
Description. A description of the resource. Any combination of characters and spaces is valid. If you have sold the resource to a reseller, you can change this information in your control panel but it does not appear in the control panel of the reseller who owns the resource.
Use in automatic allocation. This check box determines whether the resource is available for automatic selection during provisioning. If you clear this check box, the resource is not available. This is useful when you want to prevent the system from automatically using specific resources, such as mailbox stores dedicated to a single organization, during provisioning. If you check this box, and you select automatic resource selection when you provision an organization, this resource is available to the system for allocation. You can always allocate resources manually during provisioning, regardless of whether this option is selected or cleared.
Resource Usage Warning Level. The percentage of resource usage at which warning messages are sent. When the resource usage reaches this percentage, email alerts are sent to the owner of the resource and to the address specified on the preferences page. This makes it possible to take action before resources are exhausted. Valid input in this text box includes the whole numbers 0 - 100. If you have sold the resource to a reseller, you can change this information in your control panel but it does not appear in the control panel of the reseller who owns the resource.
ISA Server Host Name. Valid input in the ISA Server Host Name box includes IP addresses and host names. If adding multiple IP addresses or host names, separate each address or name by a comma. For example:
10.0.0.1,server15.example.com,10.0.0.2
Change the resource's limits. If you have sold the resource to a reseller, however, you cannot change these amounts.
To change the resource limits of a dedicated mailbox store, or that mailbox store that is part of a block of mailbox stores, you need to go to the edit resource page for the parent mailbox store.
Service providers can change the amount in the Actual column, which is the listed capacity of the resource, at any time. Resellers do not see the amount in the Actual column.

Click Save.

To change the resource's pool assignment, the resource has to meet specific requirements.
To change the state of the resource, sell the resource to, or revoke the resource from a reseller, or revoke the sale of capacity from an organization.
To change the owner of a resource, sell the resource to, or revoke the resource from a reseller, or revoke the sale of capacity from an organization.
