SYMPTOMS
When you use File Server Resource Manager in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2, you experience the following symptoms:
 * When you try to create an active file screen on a volume, the setting reverts to the passive screening type. For example, assume that in File Server Resource Manager, you click Active screening under Screening type to create the file screen. Then, you click OK. In this situation, Passive is displayed in the Screening Type column.

Additionally, you do not receive a warning message that the screening type has been changed from active to passive.
 * When you try to set a hard quota on a volume, the setting reverts to a soft quota type. For example, assume that in File Server Resource Manager, you click Hard quota: Do not allow users to exceed limit in the Quota Properties dialog box for the volume. In this situation, Soft is displayed in the Quota Type column.

Additionally, you do not receive a warning message that the quota type has been changed from hard to soft.
