Configuring Quota Entries

The Quota Entries page allows you to add, delete, or configure disk quotas for any user on the server. Quotas are managed using the Object/Task Selector, which has the following columns:

Logon Name — This column displays the logon name of each user with registered access to the server.
Status — This column indicates whether or not the user has exceeded the assigned quota limit.
Amount Used — This column indicates the amount of disk space currently being used by a given user.
Quota Limit — This column indicates the maximum amount of disk space that a user can occupy on a volume.
How the server behaves when the quota limit is exceeded depends on the settings on the Quota property page, accessible through the Disk Quota tab. If the Deny disk space to users exceeding quota limit check box is selected, the user will not be able to exceed this limit. If the Log event when a user exceeds their quota limit check box is selected, an event log message will be logged. If neither option is selected, no action is taken.
Warning Level — This column indicates the maximum amount of disk space that a particular user can use before a warning appears indicating that the quota has nearly been reached.

Note A warning will only be generated if the user exceeds the warning limit specified on the Quota Entries page, and if a Log event is selected on the Default Quota page. If the Log event check box is not selected, no warning will be generated and this column will remain empty. Typically the Warning Limit value is set slightly fewer than the Quota Limit value.
