This topic discusses troubleshooting for Disk Quota issues.
Disk Quota CSE Background
Disk quotas allow administrators to control the usage of hard drive space by their users. The policy is applied on a per user/per drive letter basis. This allows an administrator to keep a user from filling up a hard drive that multiple people share.
If the Disk Quota CSE is unable to read the registry on the target computer, or is unable to access a list of the available hard drives on the target computer, the Disk Quota will not be applied. This could be potentially lead to a user unwittingly filling up all the hard drive space on a server or other unwanted situations.
