implement a Home folder storage solution for all the Active Directory users

Dear EE Expert,
Management asked me to implement a Home folder storage solution for all the Active Directory users in our company.

Scenario is as follows:-
I want to implement Home Folder for all the existing Active Directory users which is around 250 users with 10GB of Hard Quota and need to generate reports about per user Disk usage statistics every 6 months. Also need a provision to increase the Quota limits for some specific users based upon the Management special requests.

I have the following setup ready:-
1) Windows 2008 standard edition 32-Bit Active Directory environment
2) Windows 2012R2 standard edition File server with C-Drive=50GB and D-Drive=3TB

Please help me to implement this solution.

Best Regards,
Thank you!

Hello Sir,
I had gone through the URL what you had posted, i understood now how to setup a folder Quota based on a template but my case is i have around 250 users in Active Directory, I am looking for a solution which can create Home folders for each users automatically with Home folder name equal to their Username in a particular Drive,the Drive size will be 3TB and Each Home folder should be of 10GB. I don't want to create 250 Home folder manually for each users based on a template and assign the permission.
Waiting for your support.
