Guest lforbes Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 I have 2500 Users who have their home directories arranged based on last name and in folders for A, B, C, etc. I have a File Screen blocking saving of mp3's, exe's etc. However I have about 60 users who are working on a project that need the ability to save these things. The File Screem Management seems extremely limited in that it wants you to create each exception manually with no ability to copy or anything. I don't want to create 60 exceptions manually. You can't seem to set file screening up by group and moving their home directories is not an option (as they will be out of this project in a few months and new people will be in it). Is there a way to somehow script the addition of the exceptions? It is a nice concept but the functionality is pretty limited. Has anyone played with this at all? Thanks Lara
Guest lforbes Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 RE: R2 - File Screen Management - Scripting I found the solution and the scripting files for this. http://blogs.dirteam.com/blogs/r2/archive/2005/11/19/104.aspx With R2 Microsoft introduces, amongst others, the File Server Resource Manager (FSRM). With that MMC you define, configure and manage quotas and file screens. On a R2 server with the FSRM installed you can configure the following: * FSRM Global Options * Quota and Screening Templates * Quota and Screening Settings for directories However at this moment, if you have multiple servers you want to configure all the servers the same way, there is no way to do this through the GUI. To be able to distribute templates and settings command line tooling must be used. With the FSRM the following three command line tools are available: * dirquota.exe * Can be used to define, configure and manage quotas on directories, quota templates and global options * filescrn.exe * Can be used to define, configure and manage file screen (exceptions) on directories, file screen templates and global options * storrept.exe * Can be used to define, configure and manage reports "lforbes" wrote: > I have 2500 Users who have their home directories arranged based on last name > and in folders for A, B, C, etc. > > I have a File Screen blocking saving of mp3's, exe's etc. However I have > about 60 users who are working on a project that need the ability to save > these things. > > The File Screem Management seems extremely limited in that it wants you to > create each exception manually with no ability to copy or anything. > > I don't want to create 60 exceptions manually.
