Thanks for while. Wednesday, July 20, PM. These quotas apply to all users who store their files in a quota-enabled volume or folder. Quotas are calculated using actual physical disk space occupied by files.

You can have quotas automatically created for all subfolders in a given folder, including subfolders not yet created. When a quota is exceeded, you have a variety of notifications you can trigger including logging to the Event log, sending an email, execute a command or script, and generate a storage report.

Before you can create a volume or folder quota however, you first need to install FSRM—on both the machine you are going to manage quotas from plus every file server on which you are going to create quotas.

That means all your file servers have to be upgraded to R2 before you can use this new feature. Adding this role adds a number of new storage features as shown in Figure 1. Then select the Quota Management node to perform all tasks related to volume and folder quotas on that server as in Figure This share is used by users in the Sales Department for sharing documents with each other. There are two ways to put a quota on the Sales folder: apply a pre-defined quota or create a custom one.

Right-click on the Quota node and select Create Quota. Browse to select the Sales folder and select Monitor MB Share under the drop-down list of quota templates available. A quota template is a collection of quota settings that you can apply in one shot to a folder or volume to configure a quota on that folder or volume.

Figure 3 shows the settings that will be applied to the Sales folder. Note that from the summary of quota properties that the quota will be soft generates notifications when exceeded instead of hard generates notifications and enforces limit and that three notifications will be sent out:.

Click Create and the quota is applied. Note that by selecting Define Custom Quota Properties here instead of Derive Properties From This Quota Template, you can create a custom quota of your own without basing it on any quota template. Selecting the new quota in the Results pane upper middle pane displays more information in the Description area lower middle pane as shown in Figure Note that the Results pane can be used to monitor all your quotas when the Quotas node is selected in the console tree at left.

Double-clicking on the quota displays its properties, allowing you to further customize the quota settings for Sales as in Figure 5. A quick word about email notifications: how does FSRM know who to email when a notification threshold for a quota has been reached?

Obviously, creating quotas one at a time like this can be a lot of work if you have a lot of volumes and folders you want to control storage on. You can again do this two ways: base your custom template on an existing template by tweaking it, or create a new template from scratch. Note that if you want to base your new template on an existing one, you just select the existing template and click Copy to copy its settings to the new template.

Click Add and configure the settings as shown in Figure Note that you can edit the subject and message body of the notification message.
