Came back to this after doing some research.... the answer I gave above you would set default for all and you would only touch some users as needed if at all.. as I recommend.. don't do many exceptions
There is in fact a setting for disk quotas in AD for an OU... however the research I have done on it sets the disk quota for the computer the user is logged into.. not the home drive on the server

SpaceGuard will monitor a specific folder and e-mail the user when they reach a certain threshold. When they exceed the next threshold, the folder is marked read only as well as an administrator is e-mailed.
We have used it for a couple of years now and it is a real time and disk saver.
