Thank you for your suggestion. I don't know if I'm able to sell going to R2
since my network administrator indicated that he would prefer that if we go
R2 we have a committment to go R2 for all our servers (I don't agree but I'm
not the boss).
I'll forward him this information you provided and maybe he will reconsider.
That being said, I have another question. If we create a new partition and
quota limits are enforced, my understanding is that quota enforcement is
directly related to the owner of the files...when I look at my current User
share, it seems that in the Administrators group is the owner of all the
files. Even the help indicated that this is the Windows 2003 default
behaviour. I'm I understanding what I see and read properly? Do the users
not own their own documents?

consider using FSRM from R2. You can create folder quota, even with an
auto-assign template, so all the users have an individual quota. When
hard-limited, the maximum remaining free space is limited to the quota
limit.

We have a file server with multiple shares and have never implemented disk
quotas because it would have affected all the shares on the partition. We
are planning on replacing the existing file server in order to increase
the
disk space and have discussed creating a second partition to place only
the
users folders in order to be able to implement disk quotas for the users
space on the one partition.
If we have, as a simple example, 3 users who have taken up different
amounts
of disk space on the current server:
User1 = 4Gig
User2 = 3Gig
User3 = 1.5Gig
and we move the folders to the newly configured disk quota partition set
to
2Gigs, will we be able to move User1 & User2's folder and files? Will the
disk quota even affect the existing files or will it only affect any new
files or folders the users add which means User1 will be able to store 6
Gigs
in total and User2 will be able to store 5 Gigs in total and User3 will be
able to store 3.5 Gigs in total yet all new users will not be able to
store
more than 2Gigs?
