hi,

i am setting up a new AD environment for a small office.

Everyone will have a 500MB personal storage directory on the
fileserver, as well as being able to read/write docs to the public
area.

I would like to impose a hard 250mb limit to this personal directory
only without it affecting the public area (both are stored on the same
drive) - if i set quota management, will this apply to the entire
drive or can i tailor it to apply to just each users folder, or should
i be looking in group policy to do this?

btw, i am using windows 2003 server standard edition, apologies for
posting in a 2k ng but i couldn't find a 2k3 one.

cheers
martin
 
Hi Martin,

Disk quotas are set per logical drive - they can't be controlled on a
folder-level. You will need to have two logical drives to do what you want
(e.g. you can have one physical drive and partition it into two logical
drives - or just use two physical drives).

By the way the 2003 news groups are
microsoft.public.windows.server._________

Thanks Mike,

I will do that - just out of interest, if I set the users home path up
in the User Profile section on the domain controller, does that
automatically assign exclusive permissions to that user only for that
folder? I don't want other people (aside from the domain admin) being
able to see or read/write to the folders
