As Laura's email mentioned, there are a variety of methods for controlling how much stuff is sent to the roaming profile share. Of all of these methods, I would stay away from the profile quota feature. It can result in some unexpected results for your users and just adds administrative\help desk burden. If you really need to limit how much is being copied up, I would use a combination of preventing certain un-needed profile folders from roaming and Folder Redirection Policy to control where stuff like My Documents is held. You could conceivably redirect My Documents to a different server from where your profiles are held. This gives you some additional options around storage management by spreading the load.

Sorry, I should mention that the servers are all W2k and the clients are mostly WXPP (the others are W2k).

Subject: [ActiveDir] Roaming Profiles

 

I have a question about roaming profiles: Is there a way to restrict the size of a profile? I could probably create a new partition on a file server just for the roaming profiles and then enable quotas, but I am looking for a more elegant solution. I vaguely remember some way of limiting profile size through GPO or something, but I can’t seem to remember how.
