Thanks Jesse. I did another test on my folder, and saw how it works. It only goes down one level from the level you apply it, as far as applying the limit. My fear was that it would go deeper, so users' subfolders would also have that 5GB limit, but as you said, and my test showed, it doesn't do that.
We're starting with soft quotas, because there are lots of people over the limit as it is. Our goal is to get folks down, then place the hard quota.

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.

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.
