Hello,

Is it possible to set a size limit on users folders in Windows 2003 server?  Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks,

Paul

Guess we all agree that Quotas are the answer, eh?  :)

thanks for the help lads, now just one more problem.  Any idea how I split the points 3 ways?
Right, well, I actually do have another problem.  The folders I want to restrict data on is the users personal folders on the network.  I.e where they store their.pst and odds and ends.  The problem I am having is that half of the data originally put into these folders was by an administrator, not the user in question.  So, for example, one user has a 12GB folder, but under quota management, it only shows that he has 5 .36GB of data becuase the rest of it was put their by an administrator.

Is their anyway around this?
Change the ownership of the folder and it's content to the user and that will fix your problem.

P. S. https://www.experts-exchange.com/help.jsp#hi69 for how to split point... but you'll have to find your own way to divide 250/3.  :-)

Very good, and thanks!
