Disk Quota...

[redman71]

I have a user A that was working in the Finance Dept for 2 years and now works in HR. She has a 200MB quota and has created files for the Finance Dept. Now when trying to create files for the HR dept, she has no more space. She doesn't need access to the old Finance docs anymore.
What's the best way to change ownership?

Also, is there a way to create a report of file ownership?

thanks

Have someone in the old department take ownership of the files. Right click the file. Choose security. Click Advanced, Click Owner. Follow the on screen directions from there.

I find it is better to have group drives on a volume that does not have quotas enabled so you don't run into this problem.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Regards,

Mark

won't work, markdmac. default policy settings define who can take ownership... however, that can be worked around if you do the following: Have another user copy the files to another location and then delete the originals. The user will be the owner of the copies.
