Hi !
I've got shared folders in my Domain Controler that users can access, i want to limit each user folder to have just 100MB is this possible ?
 
I think you answered your own question....in Win2k, you can configure quotas to limit the disk usage per user...
 
Hi,

You can set the quota entries ONLY per user per specific volume. You cannot set different limits on different folders which reside on the same logical partition. As such, go under PROPERTIES of the specific drive, select QUOTA, and then set the maximum and warning limits.

Keep in mind that when you initially view the quota entries, they will be blank until a user first connects to that share. Only then will they appear under quota entries.

Hope this helps.
 
you may be able to achieve this from CLI:

Type:
fsutil quota modify [volumepathname] [threshold] [limit] [username]

Value Description
volumepathname The drive letter for the volume, for example, C:
threshold The limit, in bytes, at which warnings are issued.
limit The maximum allowed disk usage, in bytes.
username The domain\user name of the user whose disk usage you want to limit.

thanks to MS help! :)
