Disk Quota Management - Powershell

[mbedford]

Hi,

 

Can anyone explain to me why this command is not working....

 

PS E:\Home Drives\mbedford> Get-FsrmQuota -CimSession $session -Path "F:\Home Drives\mbedford"
Get-FsrmQuota : 0x80045306, The specified path is invalid.
At line:1 char:1
+ Get-FsrmQuota -CimSession $session -Path "F:\Home Drives\mbedford"
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (MSFT_FSRMQuota:Root/Microsoft/.../MSFT_FSRMQuota) [Get-FsrmQuota], CimExc
  eption
   + FullyQualifiedErrorId : HRESULT 0x80045306,Get-FsrmQuota
   + PSComputerName        : dfsstaff

 

I have checked, the path exists and I permission to read\write, also the PowerShell console is running as administrator. The CIMSession is the server that the folder is located on.

 

Thanks

Mike

Maybe one of the following users may be able to assist with powershell :

@Arthur or @Steve21

 

There may be other people but I am not aware of any off the top of my head although that does not mean to say that others can't help

Tell me if I'm on the wrong foot here, your running the powershell command from E:\Home Drives\mbedford but your path in the command is F:\Home Drives\mbedford - shouldn't it be E:\ ?

DUH!!!

 

Thanks Cache, not sure how I missed that one

 

However, same issue persists

[Arthur]

What does the $session variable contain?

[Steve21]

May be being stupid at this time in the morning, but shouldn't it be double \'s?

 

Get-FsrmQuota -CimSession $session -Path "F:\\Home Drives\\mbedford"

Thanks for all the suggestions, managed to resolve it myself.

 

Turns out that you cant apply a quota to a folder beneath one that already has one applied. This behaviour makes sense but I more descriptive error message may have helped!

 

Thanks
