Source facts

\n

An FSRM quota template specifies a capacity limit, hard or soft quota type, and optional threshold notifications. Threshold actions can include email, an event, a command or script, or reports. Multiple actions and thresholds are possible, but no notifications are configured by default. Microsoft describes templates as a central way to manage quotas derived from them. Microsoft documentation.

\n

Applicability

\n

Use this review when creating a quota template for an identified storage policy. Name the data owner, intended quota type, capacity limit, and people who must act on threshold information before applying the template.

\n

DSE recommendation

\n

Choose thresholds that leave the owner enough time to investigate the expected growth pattern. Assign a response to each notification and verify the destination or recipient. Review any command or script action as executable administration with its own approved scope. Record which quotas will derive from the template and how later template updates will be reviewed.

\n

Verification

\n

Use an approved test quota to reach the selected thresholds and inspect the actual actions. Confirm that the intended recipient can interpret and act on the notification. Check the quota type and limit separately from message delivery. Resolve missing or excessive notifications before applying the template to more shares or changing a shared threshold.
