NT DISK Quota !!!

[SamDazz]

We've a Windows 2003 R2 File Server. Lets assume Folder A is a primary shared folder and folder B,C,D and E are also shared. Users map to these folders to get their files. Is there any way that we can give Folder A at least 6 GB of space which never gets lower than that. The reason I'm asking this because we are using this server for multiple users but Folder A needs at least 6 Gb of free space on the disk to run assigned processes properly. Folder B, C, D and E are using lot of space and they some times make the disk usage close to threshold mark. Than we need to clean B,C,D,E folder manually. I know we can assign quota to the root of the drive but is there any way of assigning quota to the folders?
Thanks

Have a look at File Server Resource Manager. This may be able to accomplish what you're after.

I don't see any option in File Server Management Console that relates to Disk Quota. I know we can restrict users on a Volume level but is there any way else to restrict users or allow 6 Gb for each folder that I mentioned earlier?

Can you not use FSM to restrict the sizes of B,C,D,E so that A is always guaranteed to have at least 6GB?

Topkapi: I didn't understood your question? If I'll not use FSM to restrict sizes, what should I specify to give min. space for folder A as 6Gb?

Hypothetical example - Say the disk/volume is 10GB total. If you use FSM to restrict folders B,C,D and E to total of 4GB , perhaps 1GB each, then there ia always at least 6GB for folder A.

Would that work do you think?
