Hi, i have question about disk quotas,

We have network that consists of a single Active Directory domain. All servers run Windows Server 2003 and all client computers run Windows XP Professional. All file servers have computer accounts in an organizational unit (OU) named FileSR. All users have accounts in an OU named CompUsers. The My Documents folder is redirected to a shared folder on a file server named SR02 for all users and administrators.
I have received instruction from the CIO to limit the amount of disk space that can be used by each user on SR02. I have been instructed to limit disk space usage on SR02 to 2 GB per user. This must apply to all users other than administrators.
What should I do next to ensure that all users, other than administrators, can only use a maximum of 2 GB of storage on SR02?
A. I should create a Group Policy object (GPO) and link it to the CompUsers OU. Enable disk quotas in the GPO.
B. I should create a Group Policy object (GPO) and link it to the CompUsers OU. Enable a size limit on user profiles in the GPO.
C. I should create a Group Policy object (GPO) and link it to the FileSR OU. Enable disk quotas in the GPO.
D. I should create a Group Policy object (GPO) and link it to the FileSR OU. Enable a default cache size for offline files in the GPO.
I would like go with C, but my CIO goes with B, why??? :)

Thanks,
kovas
 
At a guess (its been a while).

If you enable a size limit you will only enforce it if a quota is set on the particular machine, for instance if you don't have quotas set on SR01 but the GPO is set you will be able to use as much space as is available.

If you enable a disk quota on the GPO then it would be enabled on all servers within the FileSR OU, you have only been tasked with applying it to a specific server, so you would go onto the server and enable quotas there, they would then be enforced with the size limit on user profiles.

The real world is not about exam scores, it's about ability.

 
Thanks Simon for answer,

so I should create a Group Policy object (GPO) and link it to the FileSR OU. Enable disk quotas in the GPO.
