Disk Quota support for Group

Hello,

with windows 2019 cluster, to enable user/group quota, i have enabled disk quota on the disk using fsutil.
However the experiment shows that quotas for group is not accounted and it didnt enforce the limit.
Does that mean disk quota does not have support for GROUP quota and it has only support for USER.

If anyone has information on this, please share it.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Thanks!

    Hi Priya,
    I did some research but somehow the information I can get is not very abundant.
    Here’s a similar case:

    Thanks for your understanding.
    Best regards,
    Danny

    Thanks Danny. I did have a look at all this earlier too. But it is not clear about the group quota support limitations.
