When using the File Server Connector on the servers that hold user's home folders, the BCX Server can manage quota information.
This can then be used within the Manager and configured to show users their quota upon login with a small notification.

NTFS Disk Quota

When the BCX File Server Connector service starts, it checks to see if NTFS quota settings are enabled on each disk.
If NTFS disk quotas are enabled, these quotas will be used for all user home folders located on this disk.

If using NTFS disk quotas, you can Enable Legacy NTFS Quota Management from within BCX Manager - Settings,
and manage individual users and user template quotas from within BCX Manager.

File Server Resource Manager (FSRM Quotas)

File Server Resource Manager is the preferred method and offers much more flexibility
with options to set multiple limits and different actions for each limit.
Quotas can be assigned at a top folder level and automatically propagated to all sub folders.

First disable NTFS disk quotas if enabled and restart the BCX File Server Connector on that server.
If NTFS disk quota management is disabled, BCX will assume home folders located on this disk are using FSRM quota management.

When using this method BCX simply reads quota values from FSRM. We recommend using the Microsoft tool under
Administrative Tools - File Server Resource Manager on your file servers to manage your quota settings.

You can mix NTFS quotas and FSRM quotas on different disks on the same server. For example, you can have NTFS quotas enabled on D:,
and File Server Resource Manager quotas on E:.

Disk Quota Mode: Here you can set the disk quota mode to disabled, ADS Home Directory or Documents Path.
ADS Home Directory uses the users home folder directory location to check quota information, as specified in the users Active Directory properties.
Documents Path will use the users Documents path for when using redirected folders in Group Policy.

Popup on logon: Use this value to specify how long the popup remains on screen for,
or set to 0 to disable automatic popup.

Auto refresh quota: Use this value to specify how often the client should refresh it's quota information.

Only enable if member of group: Use this dropdown list to select the user Organisational Unit or Security Group that these settings apply to.

Enable Legacy NTFS Quota Management from within BCX Manager: Allows the use of NTFS disk based quota system which can be edited
from within user properties in BCX Manager.
