RE: Quota Problem

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I have checked and users have the TMP and TEMP variables set to
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp

This location is not affected by quotas.

Hi Marcus ,

Thanks for your mail reply.

I performed lots of research on your issue and I find out that this
behavior is expected: When you build a mapped drive, temporary file is
created in your temporary folder. Your temporary folders are defined in
your TMP and TEMP environment variables. If the volume or folder defined in
these variables is inaccessible or full, or you have exceeded your disk
quota, the error message occurs.

As a workarouond, you can define the temp folder to other place:

1. Right-click My Computer , and then click Properties .
2. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Environment Variables .
3. Edit all instances of the TMP and TEMP environment variables so that
they point to a valid folder to which you have access.
4. Click OK until all dialog boxes are closed.
5. Verify that the folder used for the TMP and TEMP environment variables
is accessible, has enough free space, and if located on an NTFS volume,
your user quota is not exceeded.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

Thanks for posting.

Based on my research, my suggestions are:

1. Take a screen shot of the drive D&E at quota properties page to
let
me
know the settings.

2. Remove the mapping drive to share folder on E and re-map it to
check
the
results.

3. If the problem still occur, please take a screen shot of the error
message to let me know the detail.

thanks.

I decided to enable quotas on user home directories. The home
directories
are
in a shared folder on drive D: When the quota had been set several
users
were already exceeding the quota.

On the same server on a different drive (E:) I have a shared
folder
which
is the general file storage for our organisation. There are NO
quotas
configured on this drive.

However, the day after configuring the qota on D:, when users who
were
already exceeding their quota on D: logged on, the drive mapping to
the
shared folder in E: failed with the warning "there is not enough
disk
space".
However, the drive mapping to their home directory was fine.

Why is this happening when no quotas are set for drive E: on the
server?

The server is Windows 2003 R1
