Re: R2 folder quotas and allowed space presentation for user

Hey Michal,

Sorry to tell you but that isn't possible.

However I have a suggestion: Why not you create a bat file which will let the user know his folder size and the correct error message, and set to run this .BAT file when the user is 85% reaching the quota. So the user will receive this error that they are soon running out of storage space when they reach 85% .

Hello,
we have recently installed a new file server (Win server 2003 R2) to
host user's home directories. We applied folder auto-quotas for each
homedir. The home directory is being mounted at user's logon as U:
drive. When the user looks at the drive properties then he sees that
his home U: drive has size equal to the whole partition where homedirs
are stored and the space occupied is not volume he occupies with his
files but = volume all user occupy on the partition in total. This
causes a lot of mess as users think they have unlimited size on
homedirs or they cannot guess what the limit is. When we had old WIn 2k
server the homedrives properties presented to the users the real size
they are given by the quota, not the whole partition size.
Is there a way to make R2 to present quota size to the user as it was
in Win 2k server?
