Can you please share how you defined this quota template and what commands you tried to apply it to a specific folder.

Hi Mario,

The New-FsrmQuota cmdlet can create a FSRM quota based on a quota template.

New-FsrmQuota -Path "C:\Shares" -Description "limit usage to 100 MB based on template." -Template "100 MB Limit"

I understand. Ok - thanks!!

And if before assigning a quota template, I want to know if it already has one assigned so as not to replace it? I've been checking something like this:

$path="f:\shared%usernane%"

$currentquota=get-fsrmquota -path $path -erroraction silentlycontinue

if ($currentquota -ne $null)

{

else

{

new-fsrmquota -path $path -Temnplate $quotaTemplate

Yes, you can use Get-FsrmQuota to check the current FSRM quota in the path and the current assigned template can be found in the template property $currentquota.template.
