Disk Quotas

[Mary]

Hi,
I have a server with one dirve set for personal dirves to
each user.
I got a new disk array recently and I'd llike to move all
of these folders to the new array and also enable disk
quota settings.
Problem is, that when I try to move the folders, and apply
the quota settings, all of the old information doesn't
apply to the user entry, intead, it'll go to the
Administrator account.
I'm doing this procedure under my Administrator account,
because each folder is share only for the user and for the
administrator account.
Could someone give me an idea???

Joys of Windows. When you copy a file (no matter how), you become the
owner of the copy. Only work-around I know of is to use a backup
utility (NTbackup that comes with W2K/WXP/W2K3, or 3rd party products)
and backup the files you want to move, and then restore to the new
location. Unfortunately, this doesn't copy quota information, but at
least the files have the correct ownership.
