Manage Quotas

The domain administration tool has a simple Quota viewer. The quota viewer does not enforce quota's in any way, it only reports on quota's !. To use the Quota viewer TAB you first must install the Quota service. The quota service updates the quota information in the background and must be run on all servers on which you want to manage quotas.

NOTE: The Quota service available from our website only supports five (5) directories. To manage more directories you need a license for this service which is not included in the standard license for the Domain Administration Tool but must be acquired separately !!

Installing the service

To install the Quota service just run the setup. It will install the service which you then can start and stop from your control-panel / services icon. All parameters are managed from the Domain Administration Tool .

Using Quotas

From the Quotas TAB in the Domain Administration Tool you can add, change and remove quotas through a floating menu accessible with your right mouse button.

When selecting Add Quota or Properties the following dialog will appear:

In this dialog you can set the directory and the quota in Kbytes.

Through settings you can set the warning percentage, the Default Quota Size and the check rate.

Now you can get your quota information on screen by using the browse button. Note that The tool won't auto-browse and that the check rate can influence the performance of your system dramatically. You'll get the following results:

·DirectoryThe directory on which the quota has been set

·Quota SizeThe quota size which has been set

·StatusThe Status:

Quota Ok and within warning level (OK).

Actual use exceeded warning level (WARNING).

Actual use exceeded Quota level (STOP).
