This applies for disk-based quotas, so I'm not sure if it applies for GPO quotas, but check the ownership of the objects.
In our world, a student has 200MB of home directory space. If a student is at 190MB and then I copy a 20MB file to their directory, they are at 210MB, however, since 20MB of that is "owned" by someone other than the particular student, it does not count against their quota. If that is not correct, please note that you can create user- and computer-focused policies. You need to make sure you are using the right type of policy. Then, make sure you don't have a policy that overrides another one. You can use the Resultant Set of GPO to find out what is going on. M!ke -----Original Message----- From: Dana [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 02, 2005 1:33 PM To: CF-Community Subject: server 2003 puzzler You are the netowrk administrator for Fourth Coffee. You manage a single Windows Server 2003 Active Directory domain. Your domain has four top-level OUs. One is named Staff and contains 75 user accounts. All client computer accounts are in the Computers container. You create a GPO linked to the Staff OU which sets a 100 MB disk quota, a warning level of 90MB. Several days later you discover that many users have over 100 MB in their account. What must you do? My answer so far - check the refresh rate and realize that existing files are not counted toward the quota. However, I suspect that there is something else. Perhaps it has to do with user vs computer? thanks for any thoughts.
