Setting a disk quota 1

[bidon15]

Hi,
My company is running out the disk space on the file sharing server. Right now the disk drive is compressing. I would like to turn on the disk quota on window 2003. I have read the MS knowledge base and notice that the disk quota works only volume base and folder owner ship level. Unfortunately i have a server and have one big NTFS drive and all user folder were created by adminstrator. I do not want to change the owner ship of each file and folder of all users.
1 What is appropriate action that i need to do here?
2 Perhaps, any suggession on third party tool?
3 How do i set the quota on each user level?
Thank you in advance!

3rd party will do much better, search disk quota in google

user folders made by admin, but maybe not the files themselves.....

you choose to activate quotas, then you click on the quota entries button and have an interface to define quotas for all users....
