#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : Users cannot save to a share that has plenty of free space Fix : Find the quota that is being hit Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/srv-sto-fsrm-quota Run as : Elevated PowerShell on the file server Expect : 25 minutes Risk : medium Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX A folder or user cannot write. HOW TO UNDO IT Set-FsrmQuota with the previous size. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
