Storage Resource Manager

Hi,

I'm trying to get the storage resource manager mmc up and running on one of
my NAS boxes which is running 2003 standard edition.

According to a Microsoft article
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro...b9fa7ed1a.mspx)
it should be in add/remove programs, windows components, management and
monitoring tools but I cannot find it and i also cannot find it when I look
on my vmware versions of 2003 pro sp1 etc. Am I missing something obvious or
is it not as simple as it should be.

Your comments would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Chris

right click the disk in explorer, click properties, click the quota tab and
follow the instructions

note also that these are per volume quotas not per share/ per server quotas

You may also have to fiddle with the ownership bit on each file as well.
Quotas are tracked by the file owner, which depending on how your share
is setup, may very well all be owned by Administrators. You can use
Subinacl.exe from the Resource Kit or in WS03 manually through the GUI.

ok, i'm now coming up against a problem, native quota management doesn't
allow me to do what i'm trying to. what i need to do is set a standard share
which can be accessed by anyone to ensure that it has sufficient space, i.e.
it needs a guarenteed 80GB so even if it is currently using only 50GB i need
to be abel to block that additional space so that no one else fills it
elsewhere on the disk.

Any ideas?

cheers
