Understanding File Services
William Panek · 2018
This chapter discusses how to implement Distributed File System (DFS) and Branch Office solutions, install and configure DFS namespaces, and clone a Distributed File System Replication (DFSR) database. The File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) is a suite of tools that allows an administrator to place quotas on folders or volumes, filter file types, and create detailed storage reports. Administrators can create reports that show them how data is classified and accessed. They also have the ability to see which users are trying to save unauthorized file extensions. BitLocker must be set up either within the Local Group Policy editor or through the BitLocker icon in the Control Panel. One advantage of using BitLocker is that users can prevent any unencrypted data from being copied onto a removable disk, thus protecting the computer. Windows 7 BitLocker requires that all data and free space on the drive must be encrypted. Because of this requirement, the encryption process can take a long time on larger volumes.
