• The Quota tab does not appear on the Properties dialog box.
• A user gets an "insufficient disk space" message when trying to add files to a volume.
• Users exceeded their quota limits when Windows NT 4.0 was running.
The Quota tab does not appear on the Properties dialog box.
Cause: Disk quotas can only be set by members of the Administrators group on volumes formatted with the NTFS
file system. Therefore, the Quota tab does not appear if you are not a member of the Administrators group, if the
volume is not shared from the volume's root directory, or if the volume is not formatted with NTFS.
Solution: If you want to track or limit disk space usage, ensure that you are a member of the Administrators
group, that the volume is shared from the volume's root directory, and that the volume is formatted with NTFS.
Cause: You cannot delete a quota entry for a user account until all files that the user owns have been removed
from the volume or another user has taken ownership of the files.
Solution: Move, delete, or take ownership of all files that the user owns on that volume.
A user gets an "insufficient disk space" message when trying to add files to a volume.
Solution: Increase the user's quota limit, move or delete files from the volume, or clear the Deny disk space to
users exceeding quota limit check box in Disk Quotas.
Users exceeded their quota limits when Windows NT 4.0 was running.
Cause: Disk quotas work under the Windows 2000, the Windows XP, and the Windows server 2003 families of
operating systems only. For example, if you set disk quota limits on a computer that is configured to run both
Windows NT 4.0 and Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, users can exceed their quota limit while
Windows NT 4.0 is running. If this happens, the next time that Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, is started,
users who have exceeded their quota limit while Windows NT 4.0 was running cannot add files to the volume to
which the quota is applied.
Solution: To enable users to add more files to the volume while Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, is
running, see the previous issue. To prevent users from exceeding their quota limit on a volume under
Windows NT 4.0, change permissions on the volume so that users do not have Write permission.
See also File and folder permissions.
Cause: The Enable quota management check box on the Quota tab for the volume is not selected. Windows
retains any pre-existing quota information but cannot update it unless quotas are enabled.
Solution: Enable disk quotas. For instructions describing how to enable disk quotas, see Enable disk quotas.
Solution: Establish a connection to the remote volume and then enable quotas. For instructions on how to
establish a connection to a remote volume and manage quotas on that volume, see Manage disk quotas on a
remote computer. For instructions on how to enable disk quotas, see Enable disk quotas.
