Group Quota For an Active Directory User Does Not Work
Description
A group quota rule is defined for an Active Directory group; however, when a group member consumes space,
the actual usage of the group does not grow and the group limitation is not enforced.
Cause Quota enforcement is performed based on the UID and GID of the file (UNIX) or the SID and the GSID of the
primary group of the user (NTFS), if defined.
