STATUS_QUOTA_NOT_ENABLED
Quota metadata is unavailable because quota management is disabled
Quota query and update requests require a file system and volume configuration that support quota accounting. A volume may support NTFS quotas in principle while tracking or enforcement is currently disabled.
This is a configuration mismatch, not a missing user entry. Enabling quotas is an administrative change that can start scanning and accounting work, so applications should not silently turn the feature on as an error-recovery step.
What to inspect
- Use GetVolumeInformation to confirm FILE_VOLUME_QUOTAS support.
- Read the volume quota state before issuing per-user quota operations.
- If policy requires quotas, enable and initialize them through administrative tooling and monitor the initial scan.
