Login to a machine with the user and you can see the folder is created and mapped to the user.Click apply and OK, if there is anything wrong with the permissions, there will be an error saying folder cannot create.Login to the domain controller, select the users (you can select multiple users) right click – properties – Profile, put the copied share folder followed by “ %UserName%”, this tag will add the correct user name and useful when adding for multiple users.Next you need to copy the exact share name.Confirm the details and create the share.You can put the quota from the next window or using FSRM, I prefer to do it in the FSRM, make sure you have select the Auto apply template and create quota so all users will have a personal quota in their folders.Select User Files on Management properties.Make sure permissions are according to the following image, if not change accordingly.
In the permissions page, you have to set the correct permissions to ovoid only the relevant user can access the folder.Enable access-based emulation and caching.Open Server Manager – File and Storage Services– Shares – New Share.Login to the server where you have installed File Server Resource Manager.First you have to create the share location in the file server with the relevant permissions.įollowing step by step approach can take to create the share folders and publish them using Home Folder option in Active Directory. Home folder is a folder created with the user’s SamAccount name and only accessible to the particular user other than the domain admin. In Active directory environments, there is an option called Home Folders. Also these data should be in a place that easily access to the user without much hassle. But when managing data centrally, data should be secured and should not be able to access by users other than the owner.
While managing these data in centrally, organizations can make sure data is available with regular backups and secured from a third party. Local saving locations such as PC’s or Laptops can be compromised by a third party or user might accidently delete them and there might be no backups taken to recover. Most IT departments are willing to provide a centralized location to save users valuable data in order to minimize the risks of saving them in users computers.
From this post let’s discuss on implementing share folders and mapping them to individual users or groups of users with shared access.Ĭontinuing with previous post I’m using the Windows Server 2016 File Server Resource Manager in a domain environment to configure share folders.
After implementing file server, many people face the problem of how to map the file server resource (share folder) to the users. Also we have discussed how to create and configure quota, configuring file screening and generating reports. From my previous blog post, I have discussed on how to implement File Server Resource Manager on windows server 2016 (here).
