User quota for all but one

I need to setup a user quota across all the servers to prevent users to save large than 1gb profile. I need to exclude one service user.
so having an issue setting this for all users except one.  I might be able to do it via command line and/or script on each individual server, however that’s pretty cumbersome and isn’t easily managed.

Anyone know how to set this up to all user but exclude one?

this can’t be done via group policy, and I don’t have a “user profile” tool in place to manage quotas centrally.  I didn’t have any luck setting the quota to all users, and then removing it for one user.

I would say Set it to all Mailbox users and then Explicitly change for one Service account you want that should be it ...... OR ..... simply have the 1GB Quota on the Databases and then set to unlimited or whatever on that one Serviceaccount :)

File resource manager. Is this something builtin into 2008 or separate tool?
I guess thats for Folders not Mailbox Quota

- Rancy
So with File Server Resource Manager that applies only to that specific File Server and can be enabled on that server only correct?
I need to apply to the users profiles that would apply to all the servers across Domain.

Can FSRM help in this situation?

NO idea how these things work.  I enabled the quota on C:\ and limited disk space to below 1GB.  Then I copied 2GB file to my desktop with no issues.  Quota entries shows 2KB amount used.  However my profile is 2GB+.   I don't think its working like its suppose to..
