Overriding Quotas for a Folder

[lsixt]

I have all of my students set up with quotas of 100MB, however we have a couple of folders for the literary magazine and the art website that need more space than that. The quota thing applies to users, how do I allow them to put files in those two folders regardless of the size?

Quota limits are user limits per volume. The only thing I can think of is to move that folder to another volume. or turn of quota limits. Joseph L. Poandl

I thought of something else you can. Check out this technet article...

You can:

If you want to set a custom disk quota for a user, click Quota Entries.


On the Quota menu, click New Quota Entry.


In the Domain\Name box, type &quot;<domain>\<username>&quot; (without quotation marks), where <domain> is the Windows NT domain on which the user has an account, and <username> is the user for whom you are setting a disk quota.


If you want the user to have access to an unlimited amount of disk space, click Do Not Limit Disk Space.

If you want the user to have access to a limited amount of disk space, click Limit Disk Space To, and then type the amount of disk space (in MB or KB). If you want a warning message to be displayed when the user is close to reaching his or her quota limit, click Set Warning Level To, and then type the amount of disk space (in MB or KB) that can be used before the warning message is displayed.
