Disk quotas allow Windows administrators to control and limit the amount of disk space that users use on the file systems of servers and workstations. Windows Server supports two types of disk quotas: File Server Resource Manager quotas and NTFS quotas. Though FSRM quotas are more flexible and convenient, in some cases NTFS quotas can be efficiently used. For example, to limit the size of roaming profile folders (but not User Profile Disks) and redirected home folders on RDS hosts, personal user directories on FTP servers and IIS sites, etc. In this article, we’ll walk you through how to configure NTFS disk quotas for Windows users.
