I have a Data Volume in Windows 2000 Server which used for user to save their own data. There are multi folders in a single volume and I want to assign user quota on certain folders. I know Quota is basically assign on Volume but can I do the same thing on folder too(limiting user quota on particular folder)?

Thanks!

Using the built-in quota management tool, you can only assign quotas at the disk (volume level). To be able to assign quotas at other than this level you need to invest in some third-part software like SpaceGuard by Advanced ToolWare (www.advtoolware.com) or some other similar product. Search Google using the key words "disk quota management."

Hope this helps.

With NetWare, you can limit the size of the folder with no consideration of who created the files.

With Windows, you can limit the space a user can take on a volume, with no consideration to what folders are used.

We use a third party product called Quota Server from Northern Parklife to do what you describe. Check out http://www.northern.se/quotaserver/
