AD Disk quota GPO question..

Question

Hello. During the test related to the application of AD disk quota GPO, we would like to inquire about one question.

When the disk quota policy is set to 80GB limit, for example, when the size of the disk that is already in use exceeds 80GB (for example, about 200GB)

Although the disk space is reduced due to the disk quota policy, we ask if there is any problem with the disk data that was already being used with 80 GB.

As a result of testing, it was confirmed that the file that was already in use was read or executed well.

If you are using it, please answer.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Hello,

Thank you so much for posting here.

As mentioned, we configured the GPO for Disk quota, so we need to make sure that the configuration is correct and the GPO is applied successfully to the machines. To check if the specific settings get applied or not, please runn “gpresult /h” to get a detailed group policy result report as shown below:

Open CMD, run as administrator and Type gpresult /h C:\report.html.

According to our description, we think that we have configured "Specify default quota limit and warning level". This policy setting applied to all new users as soon as they write to the volume. It does not affect disk quota limits for current users.

Besides, this policy setting is effective only when disk quota management is enabled on the volume. Also if disk quotas are not enforced, users can exceed the quota limit you set.

For any question, please feel free to contact us.

Best regards,
Hannah Xiong
