Hi,

to set 1500 user's home directory owership how can I be able to set quota
management on it. Is it possible to do with automated script?

This script will give you ownership, but if you want to give owner ship to
each user I don't think you can

/f = file or folder name

/r means recurse take owner ship of all sub folders and files

dim oShell:Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

dim res
res = oShell.Run("takeown /f c:\test /r")

WScript.Echo res



here is a number of quota scripts

If the users' home directory names are the same as their
account names then you can run these commands from the
parent directory of the users' home directories:

Command No. 1:
for /d %a in (*.*) do subinacl /file "%a" /setowner="%a"

Command No. 2:
for /d %a in (*.*) do subinacl /subdirectories "%a\*.*" /setowner="%a"

In view of the large number of folders it would be best if
you performed some trial runs on a disposable test folder.

Subinacl.exe is included with the Windows Resource Kit.
 
Thank you Pegasus,

You've saved me a lot of time!
