Create quota entries

Share the c:\share folder

From client computer, login as jeff and map a drive z: to \\DC1.test.com\share\jeff

Runas administrator and create a file

fsutil file createnew z:\file1.txt 190000000

copy it to the z: drive

Jeff@vanarts.com will receive a notification email.

Using the File Server Resource Manager to manage the quota needs more steps than "Enable Quota Management" by Windows Explorer for multiple users. However, it includes the email notification.

Configure Disk Quota using Windows Explorer

The quota limit applies to all users. For exception, you must click "Quota Entries" button. There is no email notification.

It only applies to volumes.
