Re: disk quotas

So you've made their home directory part of their profile?
That's not recommended, because it will take up a lot of space on
the system disk of the TS and it will cause delays during logon.
You should create a separate TS profile and a home directory for
each user (both on a shared network drive), and redirect their "My
Documents" folder to their home directory.
That way, only their profile will have to be loaded on to the TS
when they logon, not the whole content of their home directory
(which could contain GBs of Word documents, pdf files, etc.)

The users that can't logon probably have a home directory / profile
which size exceeds their disk quota limit, and thus they are
refused. That's the whole idea behind disk quotas, but I would
never apply it to user profiles. In fact, I would never apply it at
all, since it's an administrative task that I can be without, and
disk space is cheaper than the costs of administrating the disk
quotas.

Hello Vera and thaks for the input, I'm having an strange
behaviour because after I 've enabled disk quotas there are
about 9-10 users which can't logon because of this:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1500
Date: 6/2/2006
Time: 9:44:45 AM
User: INTERBOLSA\jrincon
Computer: TERMINALSRV
Description:
Windows cannot log you on because your profile cannot be loaded.
Check that you are connected to the network, or that your
network is functioning correctly. If this problem persists,
contact your network administrator.

DETAIL - There is not enough space on the disk.

.....However some other users can actually log-in, and their
Home Directory is successfully created in the redirected folder
within the NTFS quota-enabled volume. Disk quota is the same for
everybody.

I don't understand what could be happenning

Thanks

Have you considered giving the users a home directory on a
fileserver, in stead of on the TS?

Computer Config/Administrative Templates/System/Disk Quotas
in order to limit the amout of information the users will
copy to their home directory. How can I avoid this disk Quota
