Recalculating quotas

[jimmy_2k]

Hi there, I've got file servers still running 2008R2 data center. I have quotas setup for students and staff using the old fashioned way of setting a quota on the whole drive from my computer/properties

 

I've got the issue where once files are deleted, the quotas aren't reset or recalculating. I have tried running a couple of commands in command prompt to reset the scan the quotas and that doesn't seem to make any difference. I am planning to replace the file servers soon but in the meantime has anyone got a fix to recalculate the quotas that works for 2008R2 DC?

Can you do it via FSRM?

[jimmy_2k]

that doesn't seem to reset properly either. I have kept my students network drives on the old system as some of them need it increasing for music/media. But in the future I will set it up with different space banding such as "students of Media" "6th form students"

Might seem daft but the deleted data isn't going into a recycle bin on the same drive is it?

[jimmy_2k]

I'll take a look. The student logins don't have recycle bins, but there could be a hidden recycler folder

I have the same issue. A student now has only 80mb in their home folder, after deleting \ moving a load of old files. FSRM though still thinks they still have 5 Gigabytes.

 

If anyone has the solution then that would be great.

are you using shadow copies on the same volume? - i had this with my 2008R2 file server never resolved it but i had my suspicions it may have been shadow copies...
