The above email generally gets sent when a quota is being reached on a site collection.
Why would you implement quotas?
Wheter we like it or not, SharePoint is still a document repository and will still have your characteristic dumping grounds that are typical with any company. Implementing quotas allows you to be aware of who is using what and why! As part of my role, I am also a Data Manager in the company so it's my job to understand where data is being stored and why certain data is being kept.
So, by implementing quotas it means that you stay in control of the situation. You can increase the limit on the quotas sporadically if you need do, thus being in the "know".
Anyway, when you hit that quota, you will get the message above. All you have to do is:
1) Browse to Central Admin
2) Click on "Application Management"
3) Click on "Configure Quotas and Locks"
4) Select your Site Collection in the drop down box
5) Change the quota or increase as necessary.
The problem with this as well is that when you assign a quota to a site collection, the corresponding content database will also be assigned that storage so please be careful when it comes to your SQL assignment here.
Happy Quotas!!! :)
Thanks for this post!
