Parameters

Parameter Description

/path:<Path>

Creates an auto apply quota on path Path. You can use the following wildcard characters:

Remarks

  • The **/sourcetemplate:**TemplateName parameter derives the following auto apply quota properties from the quota template TemplateName:

    • Space limit

    • Quota type (hard or soft)

    • Notification thresholds and notifications (if configured)

    To create and manage quota templates, use the Dirquota template command.

  • The shortest sequence of characters that uniquely identifies a parameter can be used as an abbreviation. For example, the following two commands are equivalent:

    dirquota au a /p:d:\scratch /s:"100 mb limit" 
dirquota autoquota add /path:d:\scratch /sourcetemplate:"100 mb limit"

  • To perform operations on a remote computer by using the **/remote:**ComputerName parameter:

    • You must be logged on with a domain account that is a member of the Administrators group on both the local computer and the remote computer.

    • The remote computer must be running Windows Server 2008, and File Server Resource Manager must be installed.

    • The Remote File Server Resource Manager Management exception on the remote computer must be enabled. Enable this exception by using Windows Firewall in Control Panel.
