Restrict users from using NTFS compression on file server?

[Babbit]

How do I dis-allow users to use the NTFS option to compress or encrypt
files, mainly compress the files. The file compression increases the load
on the server, as well as disturbs the numbers we use for our backup
solution.

The only reference I have found to this problem is as follows, which is
apparently only on the client side, and only with XP. We have 2000,XP, and
NT clients and wish to do this server side.

You will see in Q327840 that it says...

One method to do this is to disable compression on the file server itself.
However, this may cause problems with programs that expect compression to
be available on a volume that uses the NTFS file system.
As a result, this functionality has not been implemented.
