Hi Jacques,

Check the quotas on the partition with the shares.

My Computer | (rt. click) the partition letter| Properties | Quota (tab) |
Quota Entries

When you upgrade to SBS 2003 SP1, the quotas are reset for any "new"
accounts that you create.

"Note: Upgrading to Windows SBS 2003 with SP1 does not reset user quota
settings for existing users. Only new user accounts are affected by this
issue."

I have a small company running SBS 2003. There is a logon script that
creates 3 mapped network drives based on shares on the SBS2003 DC
server we have.

One of our users noticed that HIS shares show a max size of 1gb of
space and 1gb available on all 3 drives (shares.)

If I logon to his computer my account (a domain admin member) sees the
same mapped drives but 28GB free space on a 59GB drive.

None of the other users see the 1GB limit on their machines. And he's
a member of the same OU as everyone else.

How can I tell what's limiting his access? Even if I create a dummy
account (ANNA for example) that account ALSO gets the shared drives
(same logon script) and those ALSO have the 1GB limit.

Did some update mess this up or is my SBS2003 server on the fritz?

Any ideas are welcomed.
