Sharing files and ensuring end users can connect to them are important tasks for you as an Administrator. But beyond that task is the need to protect them from unauthorized access. Windows Server 2008 offers an array of technologies to achieve both. This insightful class, we’ll use NTFS File Permission and Encrypting File System (EFS) to control access, while to control access, we’ll create Distributed File System (DFS) namespace and use replication to copy files between multiple servers.

Managing File Security
We’ll begin with that fact that organization’s most confidential data is stored in files and folders. Thus, we’ll use the 2 technologies that Server 2008 provides to controlling access to files and folders-NTFS file and EFS. You’ll also know the files types; such as; User Files, System Files and Program Files. Not just that, but also the various permissions available. What does is mean to encrypt a file? How can we configure EFS using Group Policy? You’ll learn and use the tool in this class.

Sharing Folders
Commonly, collaboration in enterprise environments are achieved by sharing folders. Share folders also allow file to be centralized, where they are commonly managed unlike if they were distributed to thousands of client computers. You’ll understand the 4 permission levels that are applicable when folders are shared.

Unlike, Server 2003, the file Services Server Roles can be installed to achieve this, although you can still share folders in server 2008 environment without installing the role. But why is this Files Services Role necessary? You’ll use it yourself, because this is a 100% hands-on class. In this lesson, we’ll move to QUOTA Management, to ensure consistency. Does it make sense to share Folders, and users can’t connect to them? So, you’ll be taught how to do this, using your RUN command and Network Places.

Many more to learn, such as;
? Distributed Files System: Domain Based and Workstation Based.
? Offline Files
? Backing up and Restoring Files
