We use a 3rd party app SpaceGuard SRM from www.tools4ever.com on our
file servers to implement directory level (rather than user level) disk
quotas, monitor usage, send email to users when they get close or hit
the quota, etc.
I can monitor and manage quotas from a single client workstation and
have setup automatic quotas for Home Directories.
Spaceguard works fine for our single site. We did not try the built in
Windows quota at the time we switched to AD 4 years ago because the
quota was by user. It may have gotten better in win2k3.

All,
I have been tasked with implementing disk quota's for corporate users the some
of the data is centralised and some is stored on regional file servers, but no
user has data spead over more than one server or location.
Whilst I understand the concepts I have never implemented quota software so can anyone recommend a quota management software that works? The software must be configurable to a user or a group and not at the volume level.
A nice to have would be storage billing.
Any gotchas?
