Guest Nalgene Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Hi, I would like to enable quota management on a Windows server 2003. I want to activate it on user's home folder and not on the user itself. I know that Windows Server 2003 R2 allows it but my problem is (like many ohter person) that I have a Windows server 2003 SP1... We have a license of Windows server 2003 R2 that is used for another server and what I find curious is that the R2 version has been released in March 2006 and my Windows server 2003 SP1 has been released in July 2006 (4 months later) and I don't have this option... So, Is it possible to have this option (Folder quota management) on Windows Server 2003 Sp1? Thanks!

Without R2, all you can do is set the "by owner" quota per volume.....clunky, I agree. There are (or at least used to be...) third party quota management products out there....you might google. Or you might consider an R2 upgrade.
Guest Nalgene Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Re: Quota Management Ok, and do you know if it is expensive to upgrade to R2? Thanks!
