Guest LamSoft Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Is it possible to set Disk Quotas to Group rather than Individual User, because I am going to set more than 100 users disk quotas, if I have to set it individually, it is time costly.... In addition , that File Server is running Windows 2003 Server (not R2 and SP2), in Standalone mode (not joined to AD) Thanks.
Guest Coraleigh Miller Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Re: Disk Quotas to Group.. Hi LamSoft, This is what Microsoft definitively says about it.. " In case you're wondering, disk quotas apply to the files and folders owned by a user. (Files and folders, by the way, can be owned only by users, not groups, which is why disk quotas - with one exception - can be assigned only to users.) Any file created by an administrator is owned by the Administrators group rather than the individual administrator. This is the one exception we talked about earlier. You can configure a disk quota entry for the Administrators group, but not for any other group. (Sure, it's unfair. But in glancing through our list of old adages, we can't find a listing anywhere for "Life is fair.") " http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/topics/win2003/quotas.mspx I wish there was a way to do it too.
