🔹 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.
