Problem
You want to create a quota that will apply to any new folders created on a file server.
Solution
Using a graphical user interface
-
Open the File Server Management MMC snap-in. Navigate to File Server Management
File Server Resource Manager
Quota Management.
-
Right-click on Quotas and select “Create quota.” Under “Quota path,” specify the directory that this quota should apply to or click Browse to navigate to it using Windows Explorer.
-
Select the radio button next to “Auto apply template and create quotas on existing and new subfolders.”
-
Create the remainder of the quota.
Using a command-line interface
The following command will create an auto-quota on the D:\ drive based on the “DefaultAutoQuota” template:
> dirquota autoquota /path:d:\* /sourcetemplate:"DefaultAutoQuota"
Discussion
When you create a new disk quota, by default the quota will apply only to the individual folder that you specify. By using auto-templates, you can configure a quota that will automatically be applied to any subfolders that are created beneath the folder you named in the quota definition. This is a useful setting for many scenarios, such as specifying an auto-quota for a root folder that houses your users’ home folders or roaming profiles so that any new user will receive the auto-quota by default. Every time a new subfolder is created to which an auto-quota applies, a new quota entry will be automatically created that can be viewed within the File Resource Manager.
Veru much thanks for the Information
