Managing Space Usage with Quotas

Drive quotas enable administrators to control the allocation of drive space to
individual users or groups of users. When quotas are enabled and properly
configured, it is impossible for one person or group to consume all of the
available space on a disk.
When quotas are enabled on a volume that already contains files,
Windows calculates the drive space used by all users on the volume. The quota
limit and warning level are then applied to all current users. Administrators
can then modify quotas as needed. By enabling and then disabling quotas,
administrators take advantage of the auditing capabilities provided by quotas,
without reducing server performance.
To enable drive quotas:
1. Log on as Administrator on the TaskSmart N2400 appliance.
2. From the desktop, double-click My Computer.
3. In the My Computer interface, right-click on a virtual disk, and then
select Properties.
4. In the Properties window, select the Quota tab.
5. Click the Enable Quota Management check box, and then click OK.
NOTE: If the volume is not formatted with the NTFS file system, or if you are not a
member of the administrators group, the Quota tab is not displayed in the Properties
dialog box of the volume.
NOTE: For more information about quotas, refer to online help for
TaskSmart N2400 appliance quota help.
