Re: Quota Entries

Ok. I understand that, just wasn't sure why 2 accounts are using so much
more space then the rest of the accounts and I thought I was missing
something, but apprently not.

The local user accounts have nothing to do with Quota the server. You'll
have to increase the quota on the server for the respective users.

I have a client that decided to go 'paperless'. They started scanning all
the documents and one day at 11:00pm they called because two users could not
save on the server. I told them about the quota limits and they said that
their user folders were almost empty. Then I explained that every time they
were putting a scanned document on the server, even on a different directory
than their own, the size of the file was added to their quota. The solution
was to adjust the quota limit on these two accounts.

While I do the reading, my issue basically is there is a significant
difference between two user accounts and the other accounts. And I figure
that most people add around the same amount of documents.

So I'm trying to establish the differnce between user accounts.

Thanks for the reading and if you have any other thoughts about what I
said
please inform me.

Thanks again,

Thomas

The 1.6 GB of storage does not applies just to the files you have under
your
user folder. Every time you create a file or folder on the server, you
are
becoming the 'owner' of that file/folder and your quota is increasing.

SBS 2003 SP1 and 8 XPSP2

On our SBS we have two partitions C and D. When I go to the Quota
Entries
for my user it shows that I've taken up 1.6 GB of storage. But if I
actually
go to my user folder it only shows 28.5 MB used.

I have local accounts on all of the other PCs because I administor them
or
did at one time. I'm assuming that those settings that I have for each
PC
are under my Quota space that I've taken up since I'm not sure how to
account
for all that space being used my user account. Is this the case?

And what could I do to change that? Delete my user accounts on each
PC?

If that is not what is taking up the space what is?

Thank you for any assitance.

Thomas
