FSRM Data Classification

Windows Server includes a File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) feature that allows administrators to classify data on file servers. Data classification provides a way to identify and categorize files based on their content, and then take appropriate actions based on their classification. Here are the features, functions, and configuration options for data classification:

Features:

1. Custom classifications: FSRM allows administrators to define custom file classifications based on specific criteria, such as file type, content, or location.
2. Automatic classification: FSRM can automatically classify files based on pre-defined rules, such as file type or content.
3. Storage reports: FSRM includes reporting capabilities that provide administrators with information on how data is classified and stored on file servers.
4. Quotas and file screening: FSRM can use file classifications to enforce storage quotas and file screening policies.

Functions:

1. File classification: FSRM can classify files based on their content, location, or other criteria.
2. File management: Administrators can take various actions based on file classification, such as moving, copying, or deleting files.
3. Storage management: FSRM can use file classifications to enforce storage quotas and file screening policies.
4. Reporting: FSRM includes reporting capabilities that provide administrators with information on how data is classified and stored on file servers.

Configuration:

1. Install FSRM: First, install the FSRM feature on the file server.
2. Create custom classifications: Create custom file classifications based on specific criteria, such as file type, content, or location.
3. Define automatic classification rules: Define rules to automatically classify files based on specific criteria, such as file type or content.
4. Set up storage reports: Configure storage reports to provide information on how data is classified and stored on file servers.
5. Configure file management tasks: Set up tasks to perform actions on files based on their classification, such as moving, copying, or deleting files.
6. Configure storage management tasks: Set up tasks to enforce storage quotas and file screening policies based on file classification.

FSRM’s data classification feature provides a way for administrators to identify and categorize files based on their content, and take appropriate actions based on their classification. It includes custom classifications, automatic classification, reporting, and other features. To use data classification, administrators must install the FSRM feature, create custom classifications, define automatic classification rules, set up storage reports, and configure file and storage management tasks based on file classification.

Dynamic Access Control (DAC)

Dynamic Access Control (DAC) is a feature in Windows Server that allows administrators to control access to files and folders based on user attributes and resource properties. Here are the features, functions, and configuration options for DAC:

Features:

1. Centralized access control: DAC allows administrators to centrally manage access control policies for files and folders across the organization.
2. Fine-grained access control: DAC provides fine-grained access control by allowing administrators to define access control policies based on user attributes and resource properties.
3. File classification integration: DAC integrates with File Classification Infrastructure (FCI) to provide additional attributes for access control policies based on file classification.
4. Audit and reporting: DAC provides audit and reporting capabilities to track and report on access control events.

Functions:

1. Access control policy creation: Administrators can create access control policies based on user attributes, resource properties, and file classifications.
2. Resource property management: Administrators can define and manage resource properties, which are attributes that can be used in access control policies.
3. User attribute management: Administrators can define and manage user attributes, which are attributes that can be used to define access control policies.
4. Access control enforcement: DAC enforces access control policies by granting or denying access to files and folders based on user attributes and resource properties.

Configuration:

1. Enable Dynamic Access Control: First, enable the Dynamic Access Control feature on the file server.
2. Define resource properties: Define resource properties that can be used in access control policies, such as file classification.
3. Define user attributes: Define user attributes that can be used to define access control policies, such as job title or department.
4. Create access control policies: Create access control policies based on user attributes and resource properties.
5. Test access control policies: Test access control policies to ensure they are working as intended.
6. Monitor and report on access control events: Monitor and report on access control events using built-in audit and reporting capabilities.

Dynamic Access Control provides a way for administrators to control access to files and folders based on user attributes and resource properties. It includes centralized access control, fine-grained access control, file classification integration, and audit and reporting capabilities. To use DAC, administrators must enable the feature, define resource properties and user attributes, create access control policies, test them, and monitor and report on access control events.
