folder disk quota

Disk quotas are set at the volume level not folders in Windows 2000. If you just want to set quotas for a folder you should create a volume, move the folder to the new volume and set the disk quota for the volume.

Yes, and take care:
It is quota per USER per VOLUME.
There is no way with standard W2K to have
an overall quota per folder. For this, you still need 3rd party tools like Quota Server and Quota Manager.

The only way to limit the size of a folder is to use a volume mount point.

Effectively you can mount, say 100MB of blank disk to a folder using the disk management utility. However if you do this you need to be quite careful as the actual ammountof disk space used by the folder will be fixed by the amount of blank disk space you mount initially.

This is not actually a disk quota, but it is the only way I have found of limiting the size of a folder. Disk quotas are, as stated earlier, seton a per user per volume basis.

Yep as people say, it's set on volume level not folder level. But bear in mind that it cant be set on groups, its done on per user level
