1. You need to configure the hard drive configuration manually on some new desktop computers. Due to application requirements, you need to create several simple partitions, a spanned partition, and a striped partition. The client computers are shared, and require that you place a quota on the spanned drive. For certain instances, you plan on using virtual drives. Objectives Create simple, spanned, and striped volumes on the client computers. Create a quota on the client machine's spanned volume.

Task 1. Create simple, spanned, and striped volumes on the client computers.

In this exercise, students create and manage volumes on three newly installed hard disks.
The main tasks for this exercise are as follows:
1. Create a simple volume by using Disk Management.
2. Create a simple volume by using Diskpart.exe.
3. Resize a simple volume by using Disk Management.
4. Resize a simple volume by using Diskpart.exe.
5. Create a spanned volume by using Disk Management.
6. Create a striped volume by using Disk Management.

Create a simple volume by using Disk Management
1. Log on to LON-CL2 as Adatum\Administrator.
2. Start Disk Management.
3. Create a new simple volume on Disk 2.
4. Complete the New Simple Volume Wizard by using the following settings:
   o Volume Size: 5103 MB
   o Name the volume Simple1
5. Close Disk Management and any open windows.

Create a simple volume by using Diskpart.exe
1. Open the Start Screen, and then open a command prompt.
2. Start Diskpart.
3. In the Diskpart command prompt, run the following commands:
   o select disk 3
   o create partition primary size=5103
   o list partition
   o select partition 1
   o format fs=ntfs label=Simple2 quick
   o Assign
4. Close the command prompt and any open windows.

Resize a simple volume by using Disk Management
1. Open the Start Screen, and start Disk Management.
2. Start the Extend Volume Wizard, and extend Simple1 with 50MB from Disk 2.
3. Close Disk Management.

Resize a simple volume by using Diskpart.exe
1. Start Diskpart.
2. In the Diskpart command prompt, run the following commands:
   o list volume
   o select volume 5 (The volume labeled Simple2)
   o shrink desired=50
3. Compare the size of the Simple2 volume with the size previously reported.

Create a spanned volume by using Disk Management
1. Open the Start Screen and start Disk Management.
2. Right-click unallocated space on Disk 2, and start the New Spanned Volume Wizard.
3. Complete the New Spanned Volume wizard using defaults, except for the following information:
   o Use 2000 MB from Disk 2
   o Use 1500 MB from Disk 3
   o Use 4000 MB from Disk 4
4. Name the volume SpannedVol.
5. Read the Disk Management warning, and then click Yes.

Create a striped volume by using Disk Management
1. Right-click unallocated space on Disk 2, and then start the New Striped Volume Wizard.
2. Complete the New Striped Volume Wizard using defaults, except for the following information:
   o Use 2000 MB from each disk.
   o Name the volume StripedVol.
3. Close Disk Management and any open windows.


Task 2. Create a quota on the client machine’s spanned volume.

In this exercise, students configure a disk quota on one of the new volumes. Students enforce a quota
limit, and then log on as standard users to test the quota limit.
The main tasks for this exercise are as follows:

1. Create disk quotas on a volume.
2. Create test files.
3. Test the disk quota.
4. Review quota alerts and logging.

Create disk quotas on a volume
1. On LON-CL2, open Windows Explorer, and navigate to Computer.
2. Open the StripedVol (I:) Properties.
3. Click the Quota tab, and then enable Quota’s with the following settings:
   o Deny disk space to users exceeding quota limit
   o Limit disk space to 6 MB
   o Set warning level to 4 MB
   o Log event when a user exceeds their warning level
4. Close all open windows.

Create test files
1. Open a command prompt, and run the following commands on the I: drive:
   o fsutil file createnew 2mb-file 2097152
   o fsutil file createnew 1kb-file 1024
2. Log off from LON-CL2.

Test the disk quota
1. Log on to LON-CL2 as Adatum\Alan.
2. Open the Windows Explorer to the StripedVol (I:) drive.
3. Create a new folder called Alan’s files.
4. Copy the 1kb-file and 2mb-file files to Alan’s files.
5. Make a copy of 2mb-file.
6. Make another copy of 2mb file.
7. Review the message that appears when you make the second copy, and then click Cancel.
8. Log off from LON-CL2.

Review quota alerts and logging
1. Log on to LON-CL2 as Adatum\Administrator.
2. Open Windows Explorer, and navigate to Computer.
3. Open the StripedVol (I:) Properties.
4. Click the Quota tab, and then open the Quota Entries.
5. Review the entries for Alan Steiner in the Quota Entries for StripedVol (I:) dialog box, and then
   close all open windows.
6. Open the event viewer, and look for events with an Event ID of 36.
7. Review the event(s) found, and then close all open windows.
