I expect to have 1000+ subsites in a site-collection and would like to setup a quota for the subsites, is that possible in SharePoint 2007 & how ?

You have to decide the IA ( information Architecture ) before the start of provisioning, ....This will help to decide site structuring DEEP vs WIDE DEEP Structure : having one sitecollection to house all the sites requests as subsites -> cannot limit the site quotas -> security nightmare (1000+ sites) -> as the content DB grows , it would be difficult to backup, migrate and restore WIDE Structure : Each request a seperate site collections -> Controlled Quote Sizes -> manageable security -> Isolated and easy to backup and restore -> room to grow 1000+ subsites is a nightmare to manage Read this article : http://kjellsj.blogspot.com/2009/09/classification-and-structuring-of.html Plan ahead and manage easily(wide).. OR no plan (DEEP), cab be controlled by constant monitoring :) |

Quota is only available on Site Collection level. |

As Wictor say quota can only be set on site collection -no workaround. An alternative is to monitor site sizes using Storage Management
but be aware that this functionality has been removed in SharePoint 2010 since it caused performance issues for end users. |

There is a third party utility that can help you manage this, try the SpeakTech governance kit http://sharepointgovernancekit.com/Default.aspx which does much as well as allow for Subsite Quotas, be advised it is expensive though. |
