directory quotas for profiles using UPD

Hi. We have 2012 R2 RDS deployment using profiles stored as UPD (User Profile Disks). We need to be able to dynamically change the quota for the user.

Therefore at creation we defined UPD maximum size (that will never be reached), but we need to be dynamically control each user's quota and change it on demand. Example: we've configured max UPD disk size to be 200GB, but we need to set quota for users anywhere between 1GB and those 200GB.

Using traditional local/roaming profiles, this could be easily solved using directory quotas on the C:\Users folder on the RDSH server.

However with UPD, this approach doesn't work, since profiles stored as UPD disks are mounted at logon as mount points and are not recognized by FSRM (File Server Resource Manager) correctly (partially understandably since mount point is not a directory).

The only approach you can take with this is log on the user, then set the quota manually, then logoff (since the folder is only mounted when the user is logged in and quota cannot be created if the path doesn't exist).

Is there a better solution to this as the manual way (and especially restricted by the condition that the user must be logged on while creating the quota) is not acceptable.
