Folder size threshold

[Grant]

Is there a way to set a threshold on a folder on a windows 2003 server?
Something that wont allow a user to place any more files on the share until
space has been cleared?

Ive got a temp folder on the server but people abuse it by copying heaps of
stuff there and not bothering to delete old files.


Thanks,
Grant

Set a quota...

remember that quotas are per volume.....you can't put a quota on a folder.

As of 2003 R2 beta1 you can have per-directory quotas. These can be created
using a CLI via dirquota.exe or via a GUI with the FSRM MMC snap-in.
