Again I need to explain you from FAT. Your question has made me to add more value to your question.

For implementing you should have a NTFS Partition. Untl you have NTFS Partition you cannot set Disk Quota. It can be implemented on a particular Drive but not on a particular file or a folder. If you get a question in the interview about setting Disk Quota for the file or folder then your answer should be no.

Suppose think that if a user in your organization is making misuse of your Hard Disk resources then you can set Disk Quota for that. You can set Disk Quota on Local System and also on Network.

You should set disk quota of atleast 1 MB otherwise when a user logs in he will get an error and he will not be allowed to login. It will give him an error that he cannot loggin. So, at the minimum please set it 1 MB Disk Space. So, whenever the user exceeds the disk limit he will get a message that Disk is full and thee is no space. One more thing is after seting the disk quota you login as a user and check the disk space it will show you only that much of disk space which a user is allowed to. So, whenever you implement disk quota you have to log off and login.

In case of any queries please revert me back.

Simple answers is; you can control the disk usage of each users logged on this server. For example; if you allocate 100 MB for user X, he will not be able to store data more than 100 MB.

Hope this answers your question

I explained my friend in terms of workgroup and also domain environment. In case of workgroup if you want to assing you can assign it locally. But can he be able to assingn it for the other systems by being in a workgroup?

For that the Admin should have a domain then only he can implement it for all the users.

My example was explaining him both the condition if and else then end if.............

Thanks for your comment,
Ganesh
