Study Notes
Chapter 7: Configuring File and Share Access
-
Chapter objectives include configuring file and share access, designing a file sharing strategy, creating folder shares, assigning permissions, and configuring NTFS quotas.
-
Shares are required for network users to access server disks.
-
To create folder shares, determine which folders to share, their names, permissions for users, and offline files settings.
-
Folder shares can be created by right-clicking and selecting "Share with Specific People" for a simplified interface or using the "Sharing" tab of the folder's Properties sheet for more control.
-
The File Sharing dialog box allows you to select users and assign permission levels (Owner, Read/Write, Read).
-
The Advanced Sharing dialog box allows adjustments like limiting simultaneous users.
-
Server Message Block (SMB) is the standard file-sharing protocol used by all Windows versions, requiring the File Server role service.
-
Network File System (NFS) is the standard file-sharing protocol for most UNIX and Linux distributions requiring the server to have the NFS role service installed.
-
The Shares homepage in Server Manager displays all shares, allowing for creating new shares using the New Share Wizard.
-
The New Share Wizard page "Select the profile for this share" demonstrates different share profiles (SMB-Quick, SMB-Advanced, etc.) with details about their usage.
-
Next, "Select the server and path for this share" allows you to specify the server, volume of the file share.
-
The "Specify share name" page is for customizing share name and description and selecting the local or remote path to the share.
-
The "Configure share settings" page offers settings like enabling access-based enumeration, caching, BranchCache, and encryption for data access.
-
The "Specify permissions" page enables controlling access via a combination of folder, share, and optional central access policy permissions.
-
The "Confirm selections" page verifies chosen settings before creation, showing the server, cluster role, local path, and other share properties.
-
A created share appears on the Shares homepage in Server Manager, displaying volume information and quota.
-
ACL (Access Control List) and ACES (Access Control Entries) together configure folder permission architecture.
-
Security principal examples: Sales (Read permissions), Managers (Full Control permissions), JSmith (Deny permissions).
-
The Security tab in a Properties sheet lets changing permissions for users and groups on the file share using edit, deny and allow options.
-
Basic and Advanced Permissions grant specific degrees of access.
-
Basic permissions are preconfigured combinations, whereas advanced permissions offer granular, individually applied access.
-
Additive method: start with no permissions and allow them.
-
Subtractive method: grant Allow, then Deny permissions.
-
Permissions run "downward" through a hierarchy - an inherited permission structure.
-
Explicit permissions have precedence over inherited permissions.
-
Effective Access tab displays the actual permissions granted to a user/group on a specific file or folder, considering cumulative and overriding permissions.
-
The Share Permissions tab (for a folder) lets managing individual permissions (Allow/Deny) for groups.
-
Permissions (Full Control, Change, Read) grant different access levels (changing permissions, taking ownership, reading data).
-
NTFS Authorization: NTFS and ReFS use ACLs with ACEs (having security principals and permissions) to manage permissions.
-
Security identifiers (SIDs) determine appropriate user's access during authorization.
-
NTFS basic permissions (Full Control, Modify, Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read, Write) dictate different actions.
-
Sharing permissions are distinguished from NTFS permissions, as they operate independently to offer network access to folder resources.
-
When a shared folder has both share and NTFS permissions, local (NTFS) permissions have precedence.
-
The two basic rules involve the local permission being the NTFS permission and the remote permission as the more restrictive set of permissions.
-
Volume Shadow Copies allow maintaining previous versions of files. This feature is for complete volumes only, not individual folders/shares.
-
NTFS quotas enable storage limit control on volumes for users to prevent exceeding a defined limit via disk space or warnings.
-
Access-based enumeration applies filters based on individual user's permissions to view contents.
-
Users unable to access particular resources on a network won't see them.
-
Offline Files maintain copies of files locally, accessing files from server shares.
