SpaceGuard SRM Quota Enforcement Features

SpaceGuard SRM is a completely new product, built from
the ground up for Windows 2003-XP-2000-NT environments.
SpaceGuard SRM has all the features of SpaceGuard 4.2,
and many significant enhancements and features, such
as enhanced auto-add quotas, configurable disk quota policies,
more notifications, unlimited disk quota levels, a brand-new
interface and dramatic improvements in engine performance.

Quota Enforcement

• Automatic home directory matching based on Active Directory


• Quota limits based on percentage of disk/directory size


• Configurable
  quota policies; save your configuration in a policy for
  rapid deployment and propagation


• Directory based quotas


• Quota
  enforcement; the engine can automatically revoke write
  access priviliges for a user or a group of users when a revoke
  access limit has been exceeded


• Unlimited
  disk quota levels; assign multiple limits on a disk quota
  to gradually escalate notifications and ultimately enforce
  the disk quota by revoking write access


• Auto-Add
  quotas; the SpaceGuard SRM engine monitors the file system
  for changes and automatically applies the appropriate disk
  quota settings

Quota Enforcement:

The revoke access alarm action
can be used to deny write access to the quota's directory for a single
user or an entire group of users. When linked to a certain quota limit,
SpaceGuard SRM will revoke the access rights by setting explicit 'Deny'
write in the directory's ACL. When the limit is no longer exceeded,
SpaceGuard SRM will revert back to the original access rights and restore
the ACL including the owner to its original state. This also happens
when deleting a quota that was previously revoked by SpaceGuard SRM.

SmartQuota Technology: SpaceGuard SRM is SmartQuota enabled, which allows for rapid deployment and mass disk quota reconfiguration. Using SmartQuota technology, you can quickly add new quota limits to all existing quota's based on a percentage of the current limits, regardless of the type of quota limit (absolute, relative to disk/directory). SmartQuota technology is completely transparent and automatically activated in SpaceGuard SRM. More information on using SmartQuota technology is available here.
