Guest Simon Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Hi All, In a test lab, I have implemented Win2k3 R2, mainly for the Quota management software. On this Server, will be users Home Drives. These will be on the E: Volume and I created a folder called "Home Folders". Under this folder the Users Home Folders are stored in alphabetical folders A-Z (In other words, users Surname that start with the letter "A" will be in the root folder A, and so forth. I have around 2,500 Home Users Folders that need a quota enabled for 800MB I wanted to enquire on the best method of doing this. Ideally, I was trying to avoid doing it on a "per folder" basis for each user, seeing as there is alot to do. If anyone has any advice, I would be pleased to hear it. Thank you Si

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Re: Win2k3 R2 FSRM Quota For Users Home Folders - Advice Hello Simon, No, you can create a template according to your needs and when you choose the top folder you can configure it on the settings there to apply this template for ALL subfolders. Just create a test folder and a test template and play with the settings. Did not know the exact way, because its to long ago when tested it. But it works.
