Profile Quoting... on win2kserver

[Peter Lawlor]

Alright,

I work for University of Sheffield in the UK.
And we have a winserver, and what Im trying to do, is set
quoting on each user, but then i thought, of
using 'groups'

So for example,
all students, can be in windows.dcs/Studens
all staff, can be in windows.dcs/Staff

It would be easier to quote each group, instead of each
user, (we have like 1038 in total, excluding the user
groups.)

Is it possible to add 'groups' to the quote list?

Because upto now, you only can add each user.
To the Quota Entries.

Theres got to be a way on adding groups to the list..
right?

Thanks
Pete

Don't think so. Might want to look at third party quota utilities - there
are many that can set quotas per volume/share/folder/whatnot. I don't like
the built-in quota stuff anyway. If you change ownership on files, your
quota settings are messed up anyway. www.quotamanager.com is one product
that comes to mind.....
