With Windows 2000 yes. Although with Windows 2003 R2 the quota system is set
by File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) on a folder rather than per file
owner on a volume. This alone is a great reason to upgrade a file server.
I forget when FSRM was introduced, I know it is in 2003R2 but may have been
in 2003 as well.
With Windows 2000, you'd have to use a different volume for your roaming
profiles.

It was Jeffrey's understanding that a server file quota applies to ALL
files
owned by a user on that server, not whether they are in a home folder or a
roaming profile folder.

Subject: Re: Redirect folders to network
I love both roaming profiles and folder redirection, but have been burned
by
offline files in the past (Windows 2000 server and pro) and just don't
want
to go there again even though improvements have been made!
We like the Keep It Simple principal, we redirect the My Documents folder
to
the user's mapped home directory found on the profiles tab within their
Active Directory object. (This way we can offer server space for normal
employees, but not contractors). Our users can always look to see if
their
My Documents match the contents of their mapped drive, this way it
instills in them that these files are not on the local computer.
We suggest that our Laptop users create a Local Folder for files that
they
need to travel with. It is up to them to keep these in sync with server
copies so there is a backed up version.
If you do roaming profiles without redirecting the My Documents folder,
you
may find yourself 'roaming' a good many files at login or logoff which
could
slow things down considerably. Plus you can put a quota on the user's
shared drive, but not on a roaming profile share!
Food for thought.
My next goal is to understand and implement Microsoft Direct Access so our
laptop users aren't really far from a server copy at any time, of course
this means I'll be able to get to them for support as well. ;)
