bogus disk space errors

After migrating a Win2K3 system to different hardware I have certain users
that get "insufficient disk space" errors when they try to save files in
shared folders on the server, even though there is plenty of room.

I say certain users, because not everyone has the same problem; Other users
with identical (as far as I can tell) security contexts--groups, permissions,
etc.--have no trouble saving to the same shares. I see nothing unusual in any
of the event logs.

Any ideas?

You should check if the problem users have disk quotas enabled on
their shares.

Aha! I should have thought of that--it's been a trying week.

Problem solved. Thanks!
