Hello

I'm a new one.

Does anyone knows a way of set quotas to all members of one group at same time?

I tried look at this "http://www.admin-pains.com/group_quota.asp" but had no luck.

Still can't find DISKQUOTAS.PL. It's either well-hidden, or W2KS RK Supp1 isn't supplied on Technet (how do I tell which version of Reskit I have?)

Giles Pallister 5/18/2004 5:44:39 AM

diskquotas.pl is on the win2k server resource kit supplement 1

I have the same problem the last 2 people who posted do, where is diskquotas.pl? i have the resource kit and i did a search on MS, have some other resources but figured i would ask here first.
Thanks!

I can´t find the diskquotas.pl in the Ressources Kit of Win2kSRV. May you help me telling me where I can get this perl script?

Hello Mark!

IMHO it is not ugly. The command line is the most powerful user interface in many situations ;)

> But I hope you'll find it a useful one.
Yes, i find it _very_ useful.


Thanks a lot for publishing this solution!

Have a fine time ...

Greetings

Is there any utility capable of generating the owners' names for a set of files owned by a group of people?
