Question

You have created shared folders for all your companies departments and assigned the appropriate permissions. everyone can access the shares as planned, but now you find that an extraordinary amount of disk space is being used on the server. what can you do to limit how much users can store on your servers?

Answer 1

I would suggest the use of a disk quota.

Using a disk quota would limit the available space that users could have used to store data. The New Technology File system (NTFS) has several features like disk quotas to see which users are uploading the most space.  The windows interface Open Computer Management is also another option that limits the number of users of a shared folder.
