Troubleshooting Active Directory Issues

Group Quota For an Active Directory User Does Not Work

Description

Group quota is defined for an Active Directory group; however,

 

when a group member consumes space, the actual usage of the

 

group does not grow and the group limitation is not enforced.

Cause

The PowerVault NX3500 quota enforcement is performed based

 

on the UID and GID of the file (UNIX) or the SID and the GSID

 

of the primary group of the user (NTFS), if defined.

 

For Active Directory users, the Primary Group setting is not

 

mandatory, and if not defined, the used space is not accounted to

 

any group. For group quota to be effective with Active Directory

 

users, their primary group must be assigned.

Workaround

To setup the primary group for an Active Directory user:

 

1

Open the Active Directory management.

 

2

Right-click on the desired user.

 

3

Select the Member Of tab.

 

4

The group you need should be listed. Click the group and then

 

 

click the Set Primary Group button.

Now quotas will take effect for the user's group.
