I use hard quotas for that purpose.  But, yes, I would apply it to the HOME 
folder itself, using auto apply template and create on existing and new.   
Everyone in that HOME folder will get the 5GB quota then (and from there you 
can manually adjust specific users if they need more).

It works pretty well actually.

Subject: [NTSysADM] Question about File Server Resource Manager quotas

We're looking to put quotas on our users' home drives.  I've been playing with 
FSRM on my own folder, but looking at how to apply it to everyone, it becomes a 
bit muddled.  The question, is if I apply the quota at the share level, which 
is a folder called Home, then select the radio button to Auto apply template 
and create quotas on existing and new subfolders, will the quota on the share 
level alarm right away?  To illustrate:

Home - template set to 5GB soft quota, and applied to all subfolders

Home\JHeaton - should now have a 5GB soft quota
Home\JHeaton\documents - does this folder also have a 5GB soft quota?

Do all the 5GB quotas on the subfolders add up to above the 5GB soft quota on 
the Home share level?

I'm not sure if that's clear enough, but hopefully it's a start.
