Configuring Disk Quotas
In this chapter so far, you have seen how to set up a share and publish it to Active
Directory. You've also learned how to set up permissions and security and how NTFS
and shared permissions work with each other. It's time to learn how to limit users' hard
drive space on the servers.
Disk quotas
give administrators the ability to limit how much storage space a user can
have on a hard drive. As mentioned earlier in this chapter, disk quotas are an advantage of
using NTFS over FAT32. If you decide to use FAT32 on a volume or partition, quotas will
not be available.
You have a few options available to you when you set up disk quotas. You can set up
disk quotas based on volume or on users.
A good rule of thumb is to set up an umbrella quota policy that covers the
entire volume and then let individual users exceed the umbrella as needed.
Setting Quotas by Volume
One way to set up disk quotas is by setting the quota by volume,
on a per-volume basis. This means that if you have a hard drive with
C:
,
D:
, and
E:
vol-
umes, you would have to set up three individual quotas—one for each volume. This is your
umbrella. This is where you set up an entire disk quota based on the volume for all users.
Setting Quotas by User
You have the ability to set up quotas on volumes by user. Here is
where you would individually let users have independent quotas that exceed your umbrella
quota.
