Hi Everyone,

Our network has a shared drive that contains each user's
personal folder. Is there a way that I can apply a size
limit to each folder (100MB, for example)? I looked at
disk quotas, but they seem to be applied at the volume
level rather than individual folders. Thanks for your help!

John by design. If you set disk quotas for this volume to 100MB each user
are available to store 100MB on this volume. You can also set this
individual for users. You may have to create a volume for user folders.
 
Sorry john,
not possible as per windows is concerned.Disk quota
applied only on volumes level.A way around would be create
volumes of folder sizes and try giving quots on it,it may
work but not sure

Another option is to use a third party product like Quota Manager from

I'm using it at the moment and it seems to work fine in the situation you are
describing.

If this is something important for your organization you may want to use
Windows Storage Server 2003 for your data storage witch supports Quotas at
peer folder basis.
