Network drive is showing incorrect disk space
Hi:
I have a share called Accounts on my Windows 2003 SBS server on partition D which has approx. 16GB disk space. This share is mapped across all the network but when I check the disk space (right click \\Server\Accounts) I get incorrect disk space. Some machines show 300mb space and some 800mb. One machine is even showing only 176kb and users are not able to write to that share folders.
I have rebooted the server and client machine but no luck.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I'd say that it really sounds like the quota settings, do a right click on the drive and check to make sure they are not enabled. Otherwise everyone would see that same amount of space available. Try a new account and see how much space they see.
You're absolutely certain - you checked and are 100% certain someone didn't do it without you knowing?

Hi Leew:
You were right. I had the disk quota enable which I completely forgot and without checking I said no I didn't.
You are a legend. Thanks for Barrett as he also gave the same answer.

No I don't have disk quota enabled on any drive.
Thanks.
