Unfortunately, group quotas won't work in native ONTAP as AD groups do not map to UNIX groups properly. User and qtree quotas work fine. You could create qtrees that belong to the specific AD groups and place quotas on those. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Parker To: toasters@mathworks.com Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2008 1:19 PM Subject: Quotas for A.D. groups
Toasters:
Client wants ability to quota by Active Directory group. I see some products out there, but none seem to be able to set a quota on a volume/qtree/directory with the quota pertaining to an A.D. group.
Only way I've implemented these in the past is to control access via NTFS ACL such that the A.D. group has write access (everyone else read or none), then set qtree quota. Client has political reasons not to restrict access via NTFS. This is NAS/CIFS only environment.
Has anyone else out there found another way, or using any other 3rd party *ware?
