Third-Party Alternatives

 < Day Day Up > 



Fortunately, various third-party utilities fill these gaps in functionality for Windows NT and 2000. Some of the best disk quota tools for Windows NT and Windows 2000 are NTP Software's Quota and File Sentinel and Precise/ W. Quinn Associates' QuotaAdvisor. (The complete versions of these programs may be downloaded and used free for thirty days from http://www.softwareshelf.com.) Penn State University's Chemical Engineering department, for example, wanted to improve their disk quota capabilities. Each of their 600 students needed guaranteed access to the network to complete assignments on a timely basis. Preventing overuse of storage resources, therefore, was critical. This higher education institution utilizes NTP Software's Quota and File Sentinel to graphically monitor and maintain storage requirements for all of the students. In addition, students are automatically notified when they are approaching their quotas. That way, students will not use up disk space unaware and undetected.
