Purpose of Class
This class teaches students how to use File Screening Management on Windows Server 2012 to prevent users from saving specific file types.
Class Notes
File Screening Management allows administrators to determine what types of files can be stored in a Shared Folder
Administrators can either prevent file types from being saved, or log when a file of a specific type is saved.
Screening is done based on File Suffix (.doc, .mp3) This means that if a file named MySong.mp3 is renamed to MySong.txt it will bypass screen.
File Screening is accessed through File Server Resource Manager MMC
File Groups are used to group file types together
File Screen Templates -- Create the policy for what should be done with File groups
File Screens associate File Screen Templates to Shared Folders
File Server Resource Manager is used to administer File Screening management
