Disk Quota Reporting Problems (user 58 PB over limit!)

[surroundu]

Hello,

We've got a 2003 (non-sp1) file server which utilizes Disk Quotas. We've been running our users with a certain limit for over a year, and have had no issues. When I checked in this AM, we had the usual couple of people whom were warning, but had not yet reached their quota limit. There was one user, whose name never did resolve from a SID in the Quota Tab. The system said it was 58 PB (Petabytes!) over limit. Our users have 500 MB limits, and warn at 450 Megabytes.

There appears to be nothing in the event logs to indicate this failure. Any ideas?

Sounds like your user has a mangled SID?

I'd recreate the user account and have them copy thier files to re-establish ownerships.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Regards,

Mark
