Disk quota policy active on Windows 7 local account even if computer is removed from domain
I work as a sysadmin in a company environment where we use MacBook Pros with Windows 7 and Snow Leopard (Dualboot). This question is strictly about the Windows part and I don't see how Bootcamp or hardware can play a part in this issue. We have a quota policy enforced if the user is logged in within the domain (working with roaming profiles). Outside the domain = no policy. On two of the laptops, the disk quota warning shows up since yesterday (so the users say), even if we login with local accounts (local user and local admin) and after taking the affected device out of the domain (including rebooting etc.). When using 'gpresult /z' in the command shell, all relevant entries are marked 'not applicable' (especially relevant in this case: the entry 'Applied Group Policy Objects' is marked 'not applicable'). The disk properties also show, that quota is not active on the local harddisks. (update: there is a quota on the system32 folder?!) I don't want to mess with the registry because I want the policy to be enforced when the user logs on to the domain and I'm not sure if this is prevented when applying a modification that suppresses or deactivates the quota. If I kill the proquota.exe process, it just shows up again after the next logon.

Hi, To analyze this issue better, please provide the warning message for us. In this situation, I suggest that you could try the following methods to check it: 1. Go to Local Group Policy Editor\Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Disk Quotas to check the related settings; try to reset these settings to Not Configured to test. 2. Process proquota.exe is related to System User Profiles, I think it is not the source. But if you want to disable the proquota.exe, you could go to Local Group Policy Editor\ User Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ System User Profiles\Limit profile size: Disabled Hope it helps.
