Volume Space Restriction Netware5

What is the quickest way to increase a users disk space restriction?

I have migrated about 250 users to a new server. I used a user template that applied a 100mb limit to their user accounts. Which is great for the average user. I have a few which will require a lot more space soon before the server gets it production rollout.

I have Zenworks 2 installed on the Netware server that is runing SP5.

Spacerestrictions is managed trough the volumeobjekt, therefor it is not possible to set properties on multiple users. Use uimport or do it user by user.

It is under the volume space restrictions for multiple users.  Mark is correct

When using NWadmin, There is no tab for user volume space restrictions under the user object. The only object with the volue space restriction tab is the User template.

What options are there to chnage the Volume space restriction. User by User is fine.

What object contains the volume space restriction tab? (User template is known and only sets volume space on a user import)

How is it modified?
Unimporting a user is fine but what if the user has a big file and they need the volume size extended while they are still attached to the server?

Thanks GuardianZ

Go to the volume object and there it is. If you want to change only one user this is the way to go. And as Mark2150 sad, if you mark several users (by holding ctrl down) then you can go on the Object menu and select Details on multiple users (that one was new for me!)

The actual function is found....
When you select 1 or more user objects you can go to the "OBJECT" menu. Then select "DETAILS on Muiltiple users"

The user properties does not include the volume space restrictions. The menu for muiltiple objects contains quite a few diffrences. and things which are not included with user properties.

Thanks for you help.
