Is it possible to limit the size of a directory on a WIN2000 Advanced server disk specific to the directory, and not the user?

This is possible in Novell Netware 3.x. Is it possible in WIN2000?

No, this functionality is not provided by Windows 2000. You could look for an ISV providing this functionality.

Win2k itself does not provide this functionality, so u'll have to look at third-party answers.
SpaceGuard, Quota Manager and Quota Advisor all can do it, if u r ready to part with your hard-earbed cash for 'em.
Also u can always script your way into the solution:the tool at the following link ( http://www.skylarkutilities.com/program.pcs?sumdir32 ) is a reporting tool for disk space usage per directory.Take it's output and script the dirs' lockdown. Some folx even add hourly scans for the usage changes notifications. Perhaps u can use DirUse for that.

Good luck.
