Hi,

In Windows Server 2008 file system quotas are managed with the File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) console, the command line utility dirquota or with Windows PowerShell using a COM API.

There are two kinds of quota available -

- hard quotas which set a limit and enforce it,

- soft quotas which set a limit but only report on it.  Soft quotas are useful for monitoring disk space use.

To create a quota:

1.     Click on create quota

2.     Create the quota by entering the required fields

3.     Create the properties of the quota

You can view the created quotas using the File Server Resource Manager.
