Folder's Quota assignation

Good morning everybody,
Is there a way to assign quotas to users on my server for the files that they are saving on my HP Proliant ML330 with Windows 2003 Server?. Each user has a folder on the server to save their files.

Re: Folder's Quota assignation

On Windows 2003 Server, you may turn on Quotas for a disk and set up default quotas. You may also add specific quota entries by user. Right-click on a disk from the "My Computer" screen. Click on the "Quota" tab where you can enable quotas and set the rules and default values. To add quota entries, click on the button in the lower right. There is help or you may check the Microsoft Technet site for more details.

Re: Folder's Quota assignation

R2 (for Server 2003) introduced the ability to also assign quota's at the folder level.

So shares can now be assigned at disk, folder, share and user levels.
