The quota tool (name escapes me at the moment) in Server 2003 R2 lets you do per-folder quotas, not just file owner quotas. We use per-folder quotas here but do not have an official policy in place.

How do you plan to handle video files? 2. Regarding disk quotas, are you planning on using the MS tool? If so, doesn't it pull the quota info from the file owner? In other words, if Suzy Q receptionist creates an excel spreadsheet for expense reports and everyone in the company keeps copies of it in their personal directories, Suzy's quotas gets knocked for all those .xlsx files. If MS has addressed this in 2008, someone please let me know. Shook From: Ziots, Edward [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2008 1:44 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Question Disk Usage Policiies Lookign for comments Importance: High Well I guess I finally got my wish and after much fire-fighting I am going to be able to write the Server Disk Space usage policy for my organization. I am looking for some things that you all block from your servers or have in your disk space usage policies at your sites. Here are some of the items I already have in mind. 1) Personal Photos ( Prohibitied) 2) Music (Prohibited DCMA violation) 3) Quota Management 4) Unauthorized Software (Not purchased through the company/organization) 5) Unauthorized Applications (Not Purchased through the company/organization) Anything else you can come up to mind that would definitely help.
