What should you include in your design?

Your network consists of a single Active Directory domain. The domain contains a file server named
Server1 that runs Windows Server 2008 R2. The file server contains a shared folder named UserDocs.
Each user has a subfolder in UserDocs that they use to store personal data. You need to design a
data management solution that meets the following requirements:
• Limits the storage space that is available to each user in UserDocs
• Sends a notification to the administrator if a users attempts to save multimedia files in
UserDocs
• Minimizes administrative effort
What should you include in your design?

A.
Configure NTFS quotas on UserDocs. Configure a task in Event Viewer to send an email
notification.

B.
Configure NTFS quotas on UserDocs. Schedule a script to monitor the contents of UserDocs and
send an email notification if a multimedia file is found.

C.
Install the File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) role service on Server1. Configure event
subscriptions.

D.
Install the File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) role service on Server1. Configure hard quotas
and file screening.

Creating Quotas

If the FSRM File Services server role is installed, you can use FSRM to create quotas. The Create
Quota dialog box is shown in Figure 6-13. Note that you will be unable to access this box if you have
not installed the appropriate server role, which you will do in the practice session later in this lesson.

Figure 6-13
The Create Quota dialog box
You specify a path to the volume or folder for which you want to create the quota and then specify
whether you want to create a quota only on that path or whether a template-based quota will be
automatically generated and applied to existing and new subfolders on the path of the parent
volume or folder. To specify the latter action, select Auto Apply Template And Create Quotas On
Existing And New Subfolders. Typically you would select Derive Properties From This Quota Template
(Recommended) and select a template. You can, if you want, define custom quota properties, but
this is not recommended. You can select templates that specify the quota size that is allocated to
each user and whether the quota is hard or soft. A hard quota cannot be exceeded. A user can
exceed a soft quota, but typically exceeding the quota limit generates a report in addition to sending
an e-mail notification and logging the event. Soft quotas are used for monitoring. Quota templates
include the following:
■100 MB Limit This is a hard quota. It e-mails the user and specified administrators if the100 percent
quota limit has been reached and writes an event to the event log.
■200 MB Limit Reports to User This is a hard quota. It generates a report, sends e-mails, and writes
an event to the event log if the 100 percent quota limit has been reached.
■200 MB Limit with 50 MB Extension Technically this is a hard quota because it performs an action
when the user attempts to exceed the limit, rather than merely monitoring the exceeded limit. The
action is to run a program that applies the 250 MB Extended Limit template and effectively gives the
user an additional 50 MB.

E-mails are sent and the event is logged when the limit is extended.
■250 MB Extended Limit The 250 MB limit cannot be exceeded. E-mails are sent and the event is
logged when the limit is reached.
■Monitor 200 GB Volume Usage This is a soft quota that can be applied only to volumes. It is used
for monitoring.
■Monitor 50 MB Share Usage This is a soft quota that can be applied only to shares. It is used for
monitoring.
Managing File Screens
You can use FSRM to create and manage file screens that control the types of files that users can
save, and generate notifications when users attempt to save unauthorized files. You can also define
file screening templates that you can apply to new volumes or folders and use across your
organization.
FSRM also enables you to create file screening exceptions that extend the flexibility of the file
screening rules.
You could, for example, ensure that users do not store music files in personal folders, but you could
allow storage of specific types of media files, such as training files that comply with company policy.
You could also create an exception that allows members of the senior management group to save
any type of file they want to (provided they comply with legal restrictions).
You can also configure your screening process to notify you by e-mail when an executable file is
stored on a shared folder. This notification can include information about the user who stored the
file and the file’s exact location.
Exam Tip File screens are not specifically included on the objectives for the 70-646 examination. You
should know what they are, what they do, and that you can manage them from FSRM. You probably
will not come across detailed questions about file screen configuration.
