I have a volume with quotas enabled and some users folders in that. The user
has ownership on their own folders and subfolders. the problem is the quota
entries indicating size is MUCH bigger than than size of the folder itself.

any ideas why the values are not the same?
 
You just take the ownership & revoke the full control permission from user.
If a user copy data to a folder who is not belongs to that folder then
Windows doesn't monitor Quota entry, Windows monitor only that user's Quota
entry who is belong with that folder.
 
Yes but I want to use quotas, if Administrator takes ownership then the
quotas will be nothing for the user, as quotas are based on file
ownership...aren't they?
