EXAM TIP
Most management tasks that can be performed with Windows powerShell support using a
credential object. But even when providing a credential, they fail unless run from an elevated
shell. to start an elevated Windows powerShell command line, use the following:
Start-Process PowerShell.exe -verb RunAs
this command opens an elevated shell. Some commands might still require that you
supply a credential object for the credentials required if the account you used to create
the elevated shell doesn't have sufficient privileges for the command.
FSRM quotas allow you to limit the space that is available for a folder or volume. Quotas can
be applied to new folders automatically, or retroactively to existing folders. FSRM has quota
templates that can be applied, or can be used to build new quota templates.
Creating a quota
To create a quota on a folder or volume using the File Server Resource Manager, right-click
Quotas in the console tree and select Create Quota from the menu. The Create Quota dialog
box opens (see Figure 2-15). In this dialog box, you specify the following:
■
Quota Path
The root of the path on which that you want to apply quotas
■
Auto Apply Template And Create Quotas On Existing And New Subfolders
Applies
the quota and enables inheritance so that subfolders can't be used to bypass the quota
restrictions
■
Create Quota On Path
Creates a quota on that path, but doesn't automatically
apply the quota to existing subfolders of the path or on new subfolders created later
■
Derive Properties From This Quota Template
Selects from a list of existing quota
templates to use to define the quota
■
Define Custom Quota Properties
