I implemented a W2K server, as a member of my NT4 domain (no AD). I'm using the quotas on the disk to control how the users use diskspace. The W2K quotas are ltd to only apply on a per user, per disk basis. As this is general storeage area, there are hundreds of directories, with thousands of files. One user's quota is full, and he needs to know which files in which directories are counted against his quota, as he cannot remember. How can I get this report?

From MS KB Article ID: Q300979

To simplify administration, you may want to have an entry written to the Windows 2000 Event log. To log an entry whenever a user exceeds their warning level or quota limit:
Double-click My Computer to display the disk volumes that are available on the server.

Right-click the disk volume that you want to manage, and then click Properties.

Click the Quota tab.

Click to select the Log event when a user exceeds their quota limit or Log event when auser exceeds their warning level check boxes.

Click OK to save the settings.

However I dont think it provides the reports that you want. You will probably need a software called Quota Server to do this.

This is not what I'm looking for, logging just writes an entry to the event log when users exceeds, it does not reports the files.
