Network Drive Size Issue

[Scott]

I have an XP Pro machine on a SBS2003 network that is
reporting one of it's mapped network drives as 1gig, with
less than one meg free.

It consequently continues to give out of space messages
when we try and save files etc.

Anybody have any idea as to what could be causing this?
I notice under Properties there is a "Previous Versions"
tab with what looks like a whole lot of cached files, but
I can't seem to figure out how to turn it off, or if this
is the problem?

You can get this error if you have enabled offline files or folder
redirection where the network share contains more data than the remaining
space on the client machine's hard drive. See:

You can disable offline files in Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder
Options/Offline Files.

Nope, the drive isn't actually out of space, just the
mapped network drive reports itself as so.

Anyone else have suggestions?

Just to clarify -

I have a Windows XP Pro client on a SBS2003 network.

The Server has a shared folder on the hard
drive "Documents" which has about 2 gigs of files in it.

The Client Machine has G: Mapped to Documents on the
Server - When I look at the properties of G: it reports as
1 gig in size with 500kb free.

This is incorrect, and appears to be causing trouble
with "cannot save to disk, out of space" errors and what
not.


Can anybody help??

sounds like there is a disk quota on the networked drive, go to that machine,
and that logical drive right click, choose properties and check the quota tab
