Guest Andy K Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 I have new servers with 1TB of space, specifically for use of staff storage of documents. Each folder on the root of the E: drive is set aside for an individual department. Under that folder, there are 2 folders: [departmentname]Shared and [departmentname]users. Each user folder is assigned to only 1 user. I can set quotas on the individual users easily. However, when I want to set a quota on the shared folder, I don't have the option to change object to something other than users. I tried using the ADS groups involved, but that didn't work either. Everything I've researched talks about user folders and/or AD policies. Is there some whay that I can assign a quota limit to a folder that will be used by different people in a specific department? Thanks! Andy K

Guest Jabez Gan [MVP] Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Re: Setting quotas As Meinolf has said, you will need to upgrade to Windows Server 2003 R2 to have the File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) functionality, where you will be able to set folder level quota. -- Jabez Gan Microsoft MVP: Windows Server - File Storage "Andy K" <redneck1@anntispam.phu> wrote in message news:372E63D1-8F97-4724-9076-0861B971CB67@microsoft.com... >I have new servers with 1TB of space, specifically for use of staff storage > of documents. > Each folder on the root of the E: drive is set aside for an individual > department.

Guest lukesh Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 RE: Setting quotas Yes. You can use FSRM by installing Windows server 2003 r2. http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Configuring-Volume-Folder-Quotas.html "Andy K" wrote: > I have new servers with 1TB of space, specifically for use of staff storage > of documents. > Each folder on the root of the E: drive is set aside for an individual > department.

Thank link was exactly what I was looking for! My servers are already at R2, so setting FSRM will be a snap. Thanks to everyone for responding. Regards, Andy K
