Hello
I want to create an user with following properties
- User should not have access to any of the drives
- Only one folder created in drive D should be accessible to this user
- The folder created on D drive should not be more than 1 GB
- The user should not able to install any program
Paradox. A local user's profile must be on the C drive.
Okay, see Boozad's link above.
Using Local Group policy, you can assign the disk a quota, or you can assign all user's profiles a quota collectively. You cannot assign quotas to individual user accounts.
Your best bet is to create a 1 GB partition for that user. Mount the partition to a folder.
Easy, simply don't set the user account up as an administrator.
I remember setting a quota to a particular user 2.5 months ago. I prepaired friend's laptop to be used by his son. Used windows Explorer - partition properties - quotas (didn't know about group policy, good to know). Are we talking about 2 different things?
Using the Quota tab of the volume properties you can assign a quota to an individual account. No need for Group Policy. That goes all the way back to Windows 2000.
Ah, you guys are so right.
There is a Quota tab under the properties of NTFS formatted volumes. And it is indeed able to assign Quotas to individual users.
(didn't know about the Quote tab, good to know)
