With R2 Microsoft introduces, amongst others, the File Server Resource Manager (FSRM). With that MMC you define, configure and manage quotas and file screens. On a R2 server with the FSRM installed you can configure the following:
* FSRM Global Options
* Quota and Screening Templates
* Quota and Screening Settings for directories
However at this moment, if you have multiple servers you want to configure all the servers the same way, there is no way to do this through the GUI. To be able to distribute templates and settings command line tooling must be used.
With the FSRM the following three command line tools are available:
* dirquota.exe
* Can be used to define, configure and manage quotas on directories, quota templates and global options
* filescrn.exe
* Can be used to define, configure and manage file screen (exceptions) on directories, file screen templates and global options
* storrept.exe
* Can be used to define, configure and manage reports
If you want to configure templates on multiple servers whereas all those servers use the same template settings you can use one of the 2 possible ways to accomplish that
(1) configuring all servers through the command line
First think about all the custom templates (quota and file screening) you need and translate those into command lines in a batch file using the commands "dirquota template add" and "filescrn template add" and "filescrn filegroup add". The command line options for both are listed below. There is no need to run this on each server as you can run the commands in the batch from 1 server against remote servers using the /REMOVE:<server> option
(2) configuring one server and export/import those settings onto other servers
First think about all the custom templates (quota and file screening) you need and configure one server through the GUI using the FSRM MMC. After configuration has been done. Export the template settings to a XML file using the command "dirquota template export" for quotas and the command "filescrn template export" for file screens and "filescrn filegroup export" for filegroups. After that use the command "dirquota template import" for quotas and the command "filescrn template import" for file screensand the command "filescrn filegroup import" for filegroups to import the settings into new servers. Again, it is not needed to run this on each server as you can run the commands the export server against remote servers using the /REMOVE:<server> option.
AND if you want to configure the same quotas and file screens on specific directories on multiple servers there is only one way to accomplish that without using the FSRM MMC on each server.
To configure custom settings (autoquotas/quotas and file screenings) on multiple servers you can use the command "dirquota quota add" for quotas, the command "dirquota autoquota add" for autoquotas and the the command "filescrn screen add" for file screens. The command line options are listed below. There is no need to run this on each server as you can run the commands in the batch from 1 server against remote servers using the /REMOVE:<server> option
