    Hi

    I’ve been successfully running a nice integrated network at our high school for a good few months now, server 2003 Ad authentication for all users and OD preferences set when the pupils log into any of our Macs using a 10.5.1 OD master. All works well most of the time. The next stage is to migrate the users home directories away from an ageing server2003 host to a 10.5.1 Xserve/Xraid setup. I’m getting on OK with permissions etc but have come a little unstuck with disk quotas;

    I’ve setup as proto-user with the correct settings and used edquota to set the same settings on a couple of AD users however in server manager under the volume quotas tab all the users are shown with the same name as the proto-user although the quotas do work. I tried repquota and again all users were listed with the same name. Is there anything I can do to solve this?

    I also thought I’d try to use the fact all my AD pupils are members of an OD group called ADpupils to set a groupwide quota but edquota kept telling me the volume needed a .quota.ops.groups file at its root, do I need to apply this manually as I can’t see anywhere in server manager other than the ‘enable quotas on this volume’ tickbox?

    Any help or guidance would be great as I’ve spent all day searching here and google without joy!

    Thanks

    Simon 😕
