Any chance that this is my problem?
Quota UID and GID ranges are more limited than FreeBSD

Clearly larger than the recommended max in the docs I found. OSX chose these UID’s automatically so any ideas on how to get it to reassign new UID’s within the desired range if this is my problem?
Already turned that setting off. So no one has anymore ideas for me regarding my issue with edquota -p? 😥
I appreciate all your efforts and I will be sure to test your findings after spring break as I can not access my server right now however this still does not speak to the core of my issue.
whether or not the users display a quota when I use the quota command to check is a trivial matter to me. What is far more disturbing is that after setting all 1800 students with edquota -p the vast majority don’t have quotas working. I have tested this by logging into their accounts on a WinXP machine where they have 1.73 TB available and I further test this by copying a file that should be greater than their quota to their folder.
Thank you for your continued interest and efforts!
yes I know I haven’t been using the -u flag but when I started this project I did and it made no difference to my success with the -p flag. further it seems to make no difference when doing a standard:
edquota user1
The -p flag failing is definitely a problem of scale as far as I can tell as I explained in my original post:
“If I break the file up and only set 200 students at a time it will set the first 200 just fine but when I use the command to set the next 200 it forgets the quotas set for the first 200.”
