Apply quota on network shared directories

Context#

You need to set up restrictions for several user groups. Based on the configuration from the previous tutorial:

Multi-site Active Directory, network shares and user rights management

We will apply “quotas” to folder shares on the Chassignieu server as an example.

Here is the shared folders tree structure:

▶️SRV-CHA
├── 📁DATA-CHA
│ ├── 📁Tech-Common
│ ├── 📁Adm-Common
│ ├── 📁Adm-Chassignieu
│ ├── 📁Tech-Chassignieu
│ └── 📁Management
│ ├── 📁Investments
│ └── 📁HR
├── 📁PROFILES-CHA
└── 📁DBASE-CHA
