Hard Drive Qoutas do not work as expected...

Hello,

 

Setting up HDD quotas.

The environment: about 100 users, about 25 Windows 7 PCs, DC = Server 2003 SBS, AD, local profiles with redirected desktops, documents, start menus.

The request - each user is allowed 50MB of local HDD space.

See images for what happens.

I set the policy (done locally for testing): https://mordyt.com/MS/settings.PNG

I try logging in as a new user: https://mordyt.com/MS/newuserlogin.PNG and get the error.

 

I check the quota entries: https://mordyt.com/MS/qouta%20management.PNG

I then update the entries so the 3 NT Service / NT Authority have no limit: https://mordyt.com/MS/updated%20qouta%20management.PNG

The the user is then able to login.

 

It will be a massive pain to manually update each workstation and update those 3 entries to no limit, esp. as they get reimaged constantly. I would like to push these settings into GPO - and when I do - I get the exact same result. How can I exclude those 3 accounts from being counted in quota settings?
