Can you restrict the home directory size within NT4 Server and if so, can you also vary the size of a home directory retrospectively? (IE unlimited at present and restricted by size in MBs later)

The other answers are correct that it requires a third-party software product to implement disk quotas on NT4.

The only thought I wanted to throw in is that is this is a high-priority need for your organization, it might be a good reason to upgrade to Windows2000. Windows2000 supports disk quotas natively and the costs of upgrading might be similar to licensing a third-party product but you would gain the other benefits of Windows2000 as well (fewer boot cycles, increased stability, plugNplay hardware support, etc.).
