regulator 0 #1 February 3, 2012 This is for all the IT people out there... IF youve ever had to migrate user data over... whats the largest user profile you have encountered? I have a SQL programmer that decided it would be a good idea to index all her files away from her user profile and dump everything on the root of the C:\ drive and remove some files...you know like ntldr and ntuser.dat She wonders why it wont boot up... oh and her damn user profile is 190GB!! for christsakes!!

theonlyski 8 #5 February 3, 2012 I would've set permissions so she only gets access to her userdir, and if you have a problem with overfilling the HD, quota it."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
