Introduction to File Services
• Functions of the Windows Server 2008 File Services role– File Server– Distributed File System– File Server Resource Manager– Services for Network File System– Windows Server 2003 File Services
MCTS Guide to Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration
Installing the File Server Role
• File Server role– Install by activating File Services if necessary– Role services, and other features can be installed
through the graphical user interface (GUI)

File and Folder Sharing
• Sharing creates– A network access point for clients to access data
across the network
• Clients use– Server Message Block (SMB) connections to access
shared resources
6MCTS Guide to Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration
Public and Standard Sharing
• Public folder sharing– Allows users to share files with all the users logged
on locally or on the network, if that feature is enabled– Public folders are located in the
• %systemdrive%\Users\Public directory
7MCTS Guide to Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration
Public and Standard Sharing (continued)
• Activity 7-2: Using Public Folder Sharing

8MCTS Guide to Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration
Public and Standard Sharing (continued)
• Standard file sharing – Makes files and folders accessible from a network
location– NTFS
• The preferred format in Windows Server 2008
• Shares on FAT32 volumes can only use share permissions
9MCTS Guide to Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration
Access Control
• Share-level permissions– Defined at the shared resource level – Allow clients access to a network share– Apply only when a file or folder is being accessed via
the network– Do not apply to a user logged into the machine
locally
10MCTS Guide to Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration
11MCTS Guide to Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration
Access Control (continued)

companies to deploy their shared file resources as a single file structure
– Comprised of two technologies• DFS namespace
• DFS replication
32MCTS Guide to Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration
Introduction to DFS
• DFS namespace– Allows you to create an entry point for shared file
resources using a naming convention of your choice– Two types of implementations
• Domain-based
• Stand-alone
33MCTS Guide to Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration

35MCTS Guide to Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration
Introduction to DFS (continued)
• DFS replication – Responsible for synchronizing the data within a DFS
structure• Load balancing
– By replicating your file resources across multiple servers, you can spread the usage load to multiple sources
• Fault tolerance– By replicating data across multiple servers, a copy is
maintained on a separate system should you experience a failure
36MCTS Guide to Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration
Introduction to DFS (continued)
• Backup centralization– DFS can facilitate centralized backups– Once deployed, DFS has a hierarchical namespace
structure that allows users to locate information using a UNC path location

System role services– Create a namespace– Add folders to the namespace– Configure the DFS referral order– Create a DFS replication group
41MCTS Guide to Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration
Configuring DFS (continued)
• File Services and Distributed File System roles– You need to install the File Services role along with
the DFS services of your choosing
• Namespaces– Create a DFS namespace to act as the central point
for clients to access network shared data
• Namespace folders– After you create your namespace, you can populate
the folder

• Configuring the DFS referral order– DFS namespaces use a referral order to determine
the DFS server that will provide shared resources to client requests

logical file size• Screening Files Using Built-In and Custom
Templates– Filter screening: allows administrators to block
specific types of files from being stored in Windows Server 2008 file directories

Summary
• DFS– Provides a framework for creating a centralized point
of entry for accessing network data• File and folder sharing
– Creates a network access point, or share, for clients to access data across the network
• Share permissions can be read, change, or full control
• User permissions – Based on NTFS settings and are defined at the file
level
MCTS Guide to Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration
56
Summary (continued)
• NTFS – Uses ACLs to define permissions to resources
• You can implement file and folder sharing using: – Shared Folders console– Windows Explorer– The net share command– Share and Storage Management console
• DFS technologies – Include the DFS namespace and replication
MCTS Guide to Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure Configuration
Summary (continued)
• In Windows Server 2008, DFS allows you to:– Create an entry point for shared file resources using
your preferred naming convention
• DFS replication – Responsible for synchronizing all of the data within a
DFS structure
• DFS – Can be used to provide load balancing for shared file
services
