I've never migrated quotas from windows to ontap, but my dusty  
windows programming hat says:

*using WMI, Win32_DiskQuota
*echo out the user, limit, and volume properties

a google search for Win32_DiskQuota yields this useful snippet:

####
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
     & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root
\cimv2")

Set colDiskQuotas = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from  
Win32_DiskQuota")

For each objQuota in colDiskQuotas
     Wscript.Echo "Disk Space Used: " & vbTab &  objQuota.DiskSpaceUsed
     Wscript.Echo "Limit: " & vbTab &  objQuota.Limit
     Wscript.Echo "Quota Volume: " & vbTab &  objQuota.QuotaVolume
     Wscript.Echo "Status: " & vbTab &  objQuota.Status
     Wscript.Echo "User: " & vbTab &  objQuota.User
     Wscript.Echo "Warning Limit: " & vbTab &  objQuota.WarningLimit
Next
