Managing large userbase for disk quotas
We have a userbase with around 70000. It also changes (add/deletes users) almost daily
We have a home folder for everyone but we need to set quotas on them. I can't evn get it through the gui bc of the search limit on ad users how can I automate this or pipe a dsquery into a cli tool to run this at once? Any ideas on this?

I've seen that GPO but does it not apply to the server itself? It obviously doesnt apply to users since its a computer config.
Theres nothing in that GPO that lets me choose the specific users that will be in the quota nor a way to split up the amount? -

What version is the O/S on the file servers? If you've got 2003 R2 or 2008 you're in luck. -

You apply it to an OU afterwards on a server.
