Hello,

My users are saving mp3, avi, mpeg, ... files on my file server and it
remains a low free space.
Everyday I delete it but a new time they save it.

It exist a way to stop it? For example, if it's *.mp3 it's forbidden to
save.

Windows 2003 Server Enterprise SP2.

Thanks

Hello Pedro,

If you would by R2 feature pack you can do it File server ressource manager.
But it is an additional license. Or some third party software like File and
Quota Sentinel. Also additional costs.

How to update to R2, only with the CD? It's necessary a reboot?

This might help:

Alternatively you could formulate a policy in cooperation with the
key managers. You then publish this policy which says that all
music files stored on server shares will be automatically deleted,
without warning. Most users will comply immediately; those who
don't will soon get the message.

You now create a scheduled task on the server that does two
things:
1. It copies all new music files from the shared area to a PC
with a large hard disk. Remember - disks are cheap!
1. It deletes all music files from the shared area.

you will also need a valid product key for R2 and dependent from the version
product activation may kick in.
A reboot is necessary before you can use the R2 features. All R2 components
are on the second CD.
If you have no R2 Domain controller until now, you will have to run adprep
from the second CD in folder \cmpnents\R2 as well to prepare the AD.
