I thought this was possible too ... http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/windowsserver2008r2general/thread/d6f5668b-0ac2-4895-ba71-405aded359ac is the first hit I got on Google that sounds promising.

Here, maybe this screen shot will show my issue better. I have a 100 MB FSRM quota on e:\staff\* When I try and apply a higher 250 MB quota to e:\staff\quota 2 (my test users home folder in the 'Staff' Share) I get the error in the screen shot. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jimkennedy/5550762524/sizes/l/ -----Original Message----- From: Kennedy, Jim [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2011 1:30 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Qutoa's for home folders. I am probably not saying it right. I have the root share set to 5 GB for example. Set it to apply that quota to all new folders then robocopy all the users home folders to that root. So I have 600 home folders with this: Jack 5 GB Jill 5 GB Spot 5 GB I like Spot, so I want to hit his folder and give him 10 GB. When I try and apply that FSRM quota to his folder it says there is already one in place from the root and that I can't do it. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2011 1:25 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Qutoa's for home folders. I'm not sure why you say you can't set a specific user quota even though there's a different one for the root folder. We do this all the time with Windows 2008 FSRM.
