To change the default quota template for a virtual server<br />

1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, <strong>and</strong> then<br />

click SharePoint Central Administration.<br />

2. On the Central Administration page, under Virtual Server Configuration,<br />

click Configure virtual server settings.<br />

3. On the Virtual Server List page, select the name of the virtual server you want<br />

to change.<br />

4. Under Virtual Server Management, click Virtual server general settings.<br />

5. In the Default Quota Template section, select the quota template to use as<br />

Specifying Quota Values for a Specific Site<br />

If you want to specify a different set of limits for a particular site, you can do so.<br />

Specifying quota values for a single site is an easy way to turn on quotas on a siteby-site<br />

basis. Similarly, if you need to make an exception to a quota template for a<br />

particular site, you can change the quota value for just that site. Keep in mind, however,<br />

that it is possible to lock a site simply by changing the quota value. If you<br />

already have quotas set for a particular site <strong>and</strong> want to update the value, be sure to<br />

check the site’s current quota levels before making the change. For example, suppose<br />

the current quota level for site storage is 25 MB <strong>and</strong> a site has 21 MB. If you<br />

change the value to 20 MB, the site will be locked as soon as you save the change.<br />

To prevent locking a site accidentally, be sure to check the current storage or invited<br />

user count for the site before making a change to the quota values.<br />

If you do not know what the existing quota values are for a site, you can use<br />

the SharePoint Central Administration page to view the current values <strong>and</strong> the current<br />

data (storage used <strong>and</strong> number of users) for the site.<br />

To view current quota values <strong>and</strong> data for a site<br />

1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, <strong>and</strong> then<br />

click SharePoint Central Administration.<br />

2. On the Central Administration page, under Component Configuration, click<br />

Administer quotas <strong>and</strong> locks.<br />

3. On the Administer Quotas And Locks page, click Site Quota Settings <strong>and</strong><br />

Locks.<br />

4. In the Select a top-level Web site section, type the URL in the Enter the top<br />

level Web site URL box, <strong>and</strong> then click View Data.<br />

5. In the Site Quota Information section, view the settings listed to see the<br />

quota settings <strong>and</strong> current values.
