Now i have installed Windows Server 2003. I have created 1 group of user, called "teacher". I have develop a batch file for account creation running on MSDOS. Everytime I create a new account, Windows will create a folder in D:\Sharing\Jessy , where jessy is the username. Now i wan to set the quota to that folder. I have problem with giving quota to the folder. I tried to set DSMODIFY, but this method is not working. Someone ask me to right click the D:\ and then go to quota, and Enable the Quota and set limit. This is also not working, because I only want to set the quota in specific folder (i.e. D:\sharing\Jessy). If I using this method, then all the folders in D: will be quota enabled. I dun wan this happen. So, anyone can help me? kah_hou

I wouldn't have said set the quota's on the root of the drive, I would have said to set them on the root of the user's share (ie: D:\sharing) This way it only affects the folders below (ie: the users folders). However, if you want quota's on some users and not on others you'll have to enable the quota's on the individual users folders.

you can only set quota's on Volumes and you can not set quota's just on a folder(s),, sorry ,, if you want that you need to move to Novell for that option.

Here is more info: Quotas and usersBecause disk quotas monitor volume volume An area of storage on a hard disk. A volume is formatted by using a file system, such as file allocation table (FAT) or NTFS, and has a drive letter assigned to it. You can view the contents of a volume by clicking its icon in Windows Explorer or in My Computer. A single hard disk can have multiple volumes, and volumes can also span multiple disks.use by individual user, each user's utilization of disk space does not affect the disk quotas for other users of the same volume. For example, if Volume F has a quota limit of 500 megabytes (MB) and a user saves 500 megabytes (MB) worth of files to Volume F, that user cannot write additional data to the volume without first deleting or moving some existing files from it. However, each of the other users can continue to save up to 500 MB worth of files on that volume as long as there is sufficient free space. Disk quotas are based on file ownership and are independent of the folder location of the user's files within the volume. For example, if users move their files from one folder to another on the same volume, their volume space usage does not change. However, if users copy their files to a different folder on the same volume, their volume space usage doubles. Or, if another user creates a 200 kilobyte (KB) file and you take ownership of that file, that user's disk use decreases by 200 KB and your disk use increases by 200 KB.
