Hope someone here can help. Basically heres the problems.

I created the appropriate quotas for each user in my AD. Everything is working except for the quota itself.

A user will log in and can see the whole size of the drive instead of just seeing how much space he actually has.

I noticed that when I save files in that drive, it goes to the Builtin/Administrators, who of course has an unlimited amount of space.

I even changed ownership, but that didn't work. I changed it on the users folders inside of my AD.

Kinda has me stumped right now and google isn't doing it for me.

Any help would be appreciated.

That users that are members of the Administrators group always have their files assigned that way. I haven't had time to test though. Are the users all local admins? I would create a test account that is a user or power user and see if the same thing happens.

Let me know how it works out.

I created a test user and the problem is still the same. It's strange. The quota won't take for the users, and I can see ALL the available disk space. When I save files into my shared drive, it's getting applied to the Administrators account.

The users are NOT local administrators. It may be a permission thing but as of right now I'm stumped

Glad to hear that you worked out a solution. To be honest I thought one was stuck with the whole drive size view.
Damn Good Work.
