RE: Quota Problem

Hi,

Have worked it out. Our logon scripts used >null at the end of each mapping
command to direct the "this command completed successfully" output to a file
rather than to screen. This file would be created on the user's home
directory - thus the error if quota exceeded. I have now removed the >null
from the mapping commands and the problem is fixed. Thanks for your help. You
advice is what led me to the solution.
Thanks

Hi,

That's why I suspect some file access operation is performed on the
restricted partition when you open the explorer.

Download and run filemon before you open Windows Explorer and save the log
to analyse.

Check which files on the restricted partition are accessed during the
process.

Note that this problem is not specific to an individual computer. It
arises
with any client in the domain when the specific user has exceeded the
quota
for their home directory. It does not affect users where they have not
exceeded their quota, and the issue goes away when "deny disk space" is
unchecked in the quota config for the drive holding the home directory
share.
As expected, therefore, it is possible to create files in the shared
folder
on the actual server. Safe mode makes no difference.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply and clarifying.

Let's perform some tests:

1. Go to the file server locally and logon . Check if you can create
any
files in the shared folder which is mapped by client.

2. On the client,we may start the problematic computer in safe mode to
see
if this issue occurs.The steps to boot into safe mode are as below:

Safe Mode loads a minimally protected-mode configuration, disabling
Windows
device drivers and using the standard VGA display adapter.

1) Restart the computer.
2) Keep pressing F8 key until the Windows Startup menu appears.
3) Choose the Safe Mode with Network, and press Enter.

Note: Some third party applications and some hardware device cannot be
used
during Safe Mode. You will temporarily be unable to connect to the
Internet
temporarily while in Safe Mode.

If this issue disappears in safe mode, I suspect that it is related to
some
third-party services or programs. We may use Clean Boot to eliminate
third
party interference. To boot into Clean Boot environment:

1) Click Start, click Run, type "msconfig" (without the quotation
marks) in
the Open box, and then click OK.
2) In the Startup tab, click the "Disable All" button.
3) In the Services tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services"
checkbox,
and then click the "Disable All" button.
4) Click OK and restart your computer.

I have checked and the TMP and TEMP variables are configured as
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp

This location is not affected by quotas. Also note that other mapped
drives
on other servers operate correctly.

In view of this, I think the issue must lie elsewhere.

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.
