SharePoint Powershell: Create, update, delete and assign site Quota template

This article demonstrates a PowerShell Script to create, update, delete and assign site Quota template.

The Script works for both SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013.

Create a new Quota template

01.$NewQTemp = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPQuotaTemplate
02. $newQTemp.Name = "Quota Temp1?
03. $newQtemp.StorageMaximumLevel = 104857600
04. $newQtemp.StorageWarningLevel = 94371840
05. $newQtemp.UserCodeMaximumLevel = 300
06. $newQtemp.UserCodeWarningLevel = 300
07. $Q =[Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService
08. $Q.QuotaTemplates.Add($newQtemp)
09. $Q.Update()

Note: Value for StorageMaximumLevel and StorageWarningLevel is in bytes, so if you want 100 mb it will be 10010241024.

Assign a Quota template to a site Collection:

(Note Quota can only be assigned to site collection and not web application or subsite)

1.$QTemp = "Quota Temp1?
2.$site = "http://synhnjseza1181:20000/sites/upload"
3.Set-SPSite -Identity $site -QuotaTemplate $quotaTemplate
