FRSM - Quotas

[donkeymusic]

Good afternoon,

 

Quick question if anyone can advise?

 

I've just inherited a school with Server 2012 and having issues with quote management.

 

Each student has a 3 GB quota in place. the first time I've been asked to look into this and can't recall previous setups.

 

So the users cannot save and they are not hitting their quote so I'm looking at the quote set for their students shared are set at only 4 GB, but I've not yet made a change and I'm sure looking at individuals they would be exceeding this, so not quite sure why they are unable to save, but does that 4 GB on the student share seem right?

 

Thanks

This sounds like the quota is being applied to a parent folder rather than the individual student folders. This may help Create an Auto Apply Quota | Microsoft Learn

Have a look at:

Ownership was always an important one for this for us - I set students as the Owner of their home folder on creation. It can cause some oddness otherwise (like the local admin or service user of the server owns all of the sub-folders, for instance, so collectively can hit a quota!)

 

Check that the quotas are applied correctly from a template to sub-folders for each user.
