Hi:

Does anyone know how to limit the maximum size of a shared folder on a
windows 2000 server?

thanks,
Frank
 
Move the share to a new partition which is the maximum
size you want. If you put it on a dynamic disk, you can
resize the partition as well (or use PartitionMagic or
something similar)

I presume you are aware of user Disk quotas,

If you want to limit the total size used by all users, Samir's suggestion works
fine.

If you can't do that, you can parse a dir command (use for /f) in a scheduled
job that repeats every x minutes. The issue is what do you want to do if
the limit is exceeded.
