Finding users of my disk

NTDEV
1

Hi,
I have to limit the users in my NTFS disk. I do it at using user quotas. I
found that user qoutas are filesystem property and work only on NTFS
partitions even if the OS is Windows 2000. I wanted to write a program that
would at any pont of time give the user quotas. Till now I was scanning each
and every file ans using the SID information printing it. However, this
makes my system very slow. Is there a way to programmatically directly get
the user quotas?
Regards,
Arati

Hope this helps-

You might need to write some WMI apps to query the classes, but I am quite
hopeful from this Class. In case you need code, do contact me.

Just want to add a key thing-
All these classes have been included in Windows XP family.

Thanks,

Use following com interfaces for NT and windows 2000.
Refer MSDN for more info.

Disk Quota Interfaces
The following interfaces are used with disk quotas:

IDiskQuotaControl
IDiskQuotaEvents
IDiskQuotaUser
IDiskQuotaUserBatch
IEnumDiskQuotaUsers
