Disk Quota Windows 2012 R2

If I enable Disk Quota function in Windows 2012 R2 (not FSRM), & I select a specific existing user to limit their data quota to a specific amount, what happens to their existing data that they own on that volume? Does it get counted towards their data quota or is it only new data that they write to the volume that gets counted?

Are you saying that the disk quota for new users will affect existing users immediately via counting their existing data? Are you sure?
Yes, if they are on the same Drive. You sound as if I'm not sure of what I'm saying.

Stimulate this from your dev server.

Thanks, I will test. Yes, I did sound like I am not sure of what you are saying. My apologies for doubting & offending your vast knowledge.
If it has any baring, he's completely right... You should run scripts to check the current user usage to ensure you don't cripple some people by putting on a limit too low....

That's just my 2c

What about File Screening? If users have existing exe or jpg that are part of the file screening policy, what happens to those files? Are they in violation or is it only for future exe or jpg files?
