asked on
making disk quotas with groups
were running windows 2k advanced server for a school. all teaching staff,students,support,adm inistrator s...ect are on one server in their own ou. we have decided that disk quotas for the students would be a good idea. in the students ou there are seperate folders for the year the student joined the school. what i would like to do is apply a disk quota of differing sizes for the differing years e.g. year 7 20mb, year 8 40mb and so on is there a way this can be done?
ASKER
thanks for the quick reply but there a over 1000 students at this school and i dont want to do it all individually, do you know of a way i could apply a group policy instead
ASKER
sorry.... didn't mean group policy , i meant could i initiate the individual quota through a logon script
Disk quotas can be established via Group Policy.. but here is the rub.. they can only be assigned to users, not groups..

Now, if you have the Resource Kit, you might want to review Diskquotasettings.pl Here is a little more on this tool: (I have never used it before, but these Resource Kit tools are worth having around..)

read about that today, we do have the resource kits but i'm not that good at programming in perl. we have a little programming language called KIXtart and its about as powerful as perl, the scripts that we currently have running are all in this KIXtart therefore wanted to know if there was a registry key i could apply and run through kix. i know i'm going on about differing ways but i want the easiest and most controlable way of doing things.
thanks, i do appreciate the help.
