SYMPTOMS
You create a new quota on a folder in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2. To do this, you select the Auto apply template and create quotas on existing and new subfolders option in the Create Quota dialog box. After you do this, you notice that it takes longer than usual to create or delete lots of subfolders that are in this folder. For example, you notice this problem if you try to create or delete more than 1000 subfolders in this folder.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, create the quota after you create or delete these subdirectories.

Note We recommend that you create an auto apply quota on a folder instead of creating individual quotas on each subfolder. If you must create individual quotas on each subfolder, we recommend that you create them by using a quota template. When you do this, you can later modify individual quotas by modifying the quota template.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
