On a Windows 2000 server SP 3 is it possable to set a disk quota on a shared folder ?
On one of my Win2000 servers I have a folder called Share:

Share\
Username1
Username2
Username3

I would like to set Share and have a cap amount per username
Ex:
Username1 500mb
Username2 500mb
Username3 500mb

But not have a Quota on the whole hard drive it's self.
Ex:
D:\Share <--shared folder as SHARE on network

Using the native Win2K tools, quotas can only be assigned at the volume level.

You must use third-party software such as QuotaAdvisor (from Precise Software Solutions), or Quota Server (by Northern) to bypass this limitation.

Thanks ! I just wanted to double check before buying and installing more stuffs.
