Home folder size information

[cookie_monster]

@ gerardsweeney: what quote system are they using? This is very important as FSRM will tell a user how much space a user has left in a folder. NTFS quotas like ckuntz01 has posted above works on file ownership per volume. This can create confusion as it may appear that a user has 200Mb of data in their home folder but they may have 600Mb on the volume, shared folders etc.

 

Ever since native disk quotas were introduced with Windows 2000 Server, however, administrators have been requesting the ability to assign disk quotas differently. Traditional Windows disk quotas are calculated using files’ logical size and are based on the user owning a file, not necessarily the user maintaining or storing the file. Also, Windows servers previously lacked the ability to natively configure disk quotas on multiple volumes or folders simultaneously, such as would prove helpful in larger enterprise environments.
