Thats how I do it also. For instance, if you want to use a scheduled task to do a quota off/on instead of resize, you could say: This would be first cmd file- rsh filername -l username:password -n quota off volumename call c:\foldername\filename.cmd This would be second cmd file- rsh filername -l username:password -n quota on volumename

Well, I can't help you with most of your questions, but I can tell you how I rsh from win2k to my filer.

In my hosts.equiv file, I have a line like this: w.x.y.z Administrator

Where w.x.y.z is the IP of the machine I am rsh'ing from.

Then I use commands like this: rsh FILERNAME -l root:ROOTPASSWORD command_for_filer

This works for me.

Well I have figured out how to set quotas based on global groups in Windows NT, but I'm having a little problem with the quotas file once completed.

My script checks to see if a user is a member of a global group for a quota alocation (200MB, 350MB, and 500MB) via the "Global" command. This script runs automatically when a change is made to a quota global group. If the user ID is not in any global group then they would receive the default quota. The users who are members of a global group for quotas are written to a scratch file in the format of the quotas file. Once the script is complete the quotas file is deleted and then this scratch file is renamed to the quotas file.

Everything works excellent but quota changes are not applied until I perform a "quota resize" command. I need to know if the filer automatically recalculates the quotas based on this file and if so, under what conditions? or, is there any way to have the filer recalculate quotas based on the quota file other then via the "quota resize" command. I'm trying to do this from a batch script under NT. I'm not sure how to RSH to the box via a script from NT if at all possible.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
