Re: How to limit drive allocation to Temporary Internet Files for all users

If your terminal server runs 2003 R2 then you can use FSRM (File
Server Resource Manager) to set a hard quota on the "Documents and
Settings" directory. Windows versions prior to 2003 R2 only offer
volume-wide quota. You would have to move the profiles folder to a
dedicated volume (partition) and set a quota there.

Alternatively you can use a third-party quota software to restrict the
maximum amount of disk space taken up by the profiles.

All these possible solution have one downside: you would not restrict
the space in the Temporary Internet Settings but the whole user
profile which can be problematic - many applications require temporary
space to work correctly.

I am sure there is a method to set the size of the IE cache centrally,
probably using a managed or unmanaged policy setting. I recommend you
try to find out more about that.

I hope this helps.

I just audited the profile directory sizes on my TS server and found that
many of the Temporary Internet Files directories exceeded 2GB in size each.
I am aware of the policy setting "Delete temporary folders on exit" and have
that set but it does not always do what its supposed to. For that reason I
wish centrally administer a specific allocation of say, 15MB, and then
disallow users to change it. I know I can turn off modification by using
"Disable changing Temporary Internet files settings" but there doesn't seem
to be a way to globally set the allocation limit.

TIA
