User's mailbox Limit not retained after cross forest migration

We're performing Cross Forest migration with the "prepare" and "move" scripts from microsoft, after migrating the users with ADMT.

We noticed that the user's specific mailbox limits are not preserved, is there a way of migrating the mailboxes preserving such settings

    No. You've got 2 options, either add the limits post migration, or configure limits on the mailbox DB's and  migrate mailboxes to the appropriate DB. I personally prefer using DB based mailbox limits as it puts a process around increasing the limits for a user (Helpdesk have to migrate the mailbox to a different DB after the user logs a service request).
