Ok thanks. Did you implement quotas from scratch as a design
consideration when building your domain or did you do it afterwards?
Our original domain design did not include it because we were
primarily a Novell shop and did not plan to migrate those features to
ADS. They weren't needed for what we were using ADS for, but now it
has been decided that Novell is going away and we have to do it. Once
we implement quotas, will all of the existing data by users on the
volume fall under a quota or just anything new?
