🔹 Member 1: Introduction to FSRM (File Server Resource Manager) Slide 1: What is FSRM? FSRM is a suite of tools in Windows Server for managing and classifying data stored on file servers. Helps enforce data storage policies, monitor usage, and control access. Slide 2: Why Use FSRM? Prevent storage misuse. Ensure compliance with company or legal policies. Automate file management based on properties (like type, size, date). Slide 3: Key Components Overview Quota Management File Screening Management Storage Reports File Management Tasks Classification Management (optional for data tagging) Slide 4: Benefits of FSRM Control over storage usage. Data compliance enforcement. Scheduled clean-ups and automated management. Enhanced security and monitoring. Slide 5: Real-World Scenarios Preventing users from storing personal files (e.g., movies/music) on official servers. Automatically archiving inactive data. Identifying and cleaning up duplicate or stale data. 🔹 Member 2: Quota Management Slide 1: What is Quota Management? Allows administrators to limit the space that users can use on volumes or folders. Slide 2: Hard Quotas vs Soft Quotas Hard Quota: Prevents users from exceeding the limit. Soft Quota: Sends notifications but doesn’t restrict usage. Slide 3: Creating Quotas Use FSRM console → Quota Management. Apply to a path with a defined limit and template. Slide 4: Using Quota Templates Templates simplify repeated quota configurations. Include size limits, notifications, and thresholds. Slide 5: Notifications and Alerts Configure email, event log, command execution, or reports when thresholds are hit. Slide 6: Use Cases Team folders capped at 10 GB. Temporary storage with warning at 80% usage. 🔹 Member 3: File Screening Management Slide 1: What is File Screening? Prevents users from saving unauthorized file types (e.g., .mp3, .exe) on shared drives. Slide 2: Active vs Passive Screening Active: Blocks the file immediately. Passive: Logs the event but allows the file. Slide 3: Creating File Screens Choose a folder path → Apply file group (e.g., audio files) → Set screening type. Slide 4: File Groups Predefined: Audio/Video, Executables, Office Files, etc. Custom groups can be created for specific needs. Slide 5: Notifications Send email alerts, log the event, or trigger scripts when a file block is attempted. Slide 6: Practical Uses Prevent users from downloading movies or software installers into shared directories. Enforce document-only storage policies. 🔹 Member 4: Storage Reports Management Slide 1: Purpose of Storage Reports Helps analyze disk usage and identify areas of concern. Slide 2: Types of Reports Duplicate Files Report Large Files Report Least/Most Recently Accessed Files Quota Usage Report File by Owner Slide 3: Running Reports On-demand or scheduled reports. Can be emailed or saved in a specific format. Slide 4: Automating Reports Schedule daily/weekly scans. Combine with scripts for custom alerts. Slide 5: Understanding Reports Interpret graphs, summaries, and detailed file logs. Identify trends like growing folders or idle data. Slide 6: Real Use Cases Locate and remove unused media files. Spot heavy users or unauthorized usage. 🔹 Member 5: File Management Tasks Slide 1: Overview of File Management Tasks Automate moving, archiving, or deleting files based on properties. Slide 2: Common Scenarios Move files not accessed in 180 days to archive folder. Delete temp files older than 30 days. Slide 3: Creating a Task Conditions (e.g., file age, type, owner) Actions (move, expire, report) Schedule and scope definition Slide 4: Expiry and Archival Tag files for expiry. Automatically archive to a long-term storage folder. Slide 5: Real World Use Cleanup of staging or temp folders. Archiving reports older than 1 year. Slide 6: Best Practices Always test on small datasets. Use logging and reports to track task execution. 🔹 Member 6: Distributed File System (DFS) Slide 1: What is DFS? DFS allows multiple servers to share and synchronize folders across a network. Appears as a single logical namespace to users. Slide 2: DFS Components DFS Namespace: Provides a unified folder structure. DFS Replication: Keeps folders synchronized across servers. Slide 3: Benefits of DFS Simplified access to distributed data. Increased availability and redundancy. Centralized file access for multi-site users. Slide 4: DFS Namespace Setup Use DFS Management console. Create a namespace (e.g., \domain\files) Add folders and targets. Slide 5: DFS Replication Setup Choose folders to replicate. Set replication group, topology (Full Mesh, Hub & Spoke), and schedule. Slide 6: Practical Examples A company with branches in Chennai and Bangalore syncs project folders in real-time. Load balancing and failover for file access.
