Group Quota For an Active Directory User Does Not Work

Description A group quota rule 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 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 set up the primary group for an Active Directory user:
  1. Open the Active Directory management.
  2. Right-click on the user and select Properties.
  3. Select the Member Of tab.
  4. The group you need must be listed. Click the group and then click Set Primary Group.
Now quotas takes effect for the user's group.
