Question

You have a server that runs Windows Server and contains a shared folder named UserData.
You need to limit the amount of storage space that each user can consume in UserData.
What should you use?

Proposed answer
  • A. Storage Spaces
  • B. Work Folders
  • C. Distributed File System (DFS) Namespaces
  • D. File Server Resource Manager (FSRM)

 

Suggested answer

D. File Server Resource Manager (FSRM)

Correct answer

The suggested answer is correct

  • Storage Spaces can help protect your data from drive failures. It's a technology in Windows and Windows Server and is conceptually similar to redundant array of independent disks (RAID)
  • Work Folders is a Windows Server role service for file servers. Work Folders provides a consistent way for users to access their work files from their PCs and devices.
  • The Distributed File System (DFS) functions provide the ability to logically group shares on multiple servers and to transparently link shares into a single hierarchical namespace. DFS organizes shared resources on a network in a treelike structure.
  • File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) is a role service in Windows Server that enables you to manage and classify data stored on file servers. You can use FSRM to automatically classify files, perform tasks based on these classifications, set quotas on folders, and create reports monitoring storage usage. In Windows Server version 1803, FSRM adds the ability to prevent the creation of change journals.

To limit the amount of storage space that each user can consume in the UserData shared folder, you should use File Server Resource Manager (FSRM). It allows you to create quotas and apply them to specific folders or volumes, ensuring that users cannot exceed their allocated storage space.

File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) is the tool you should use to limit the amount of storage space that each user can consume in the UserData folder. FSRM allows you to set storage quotas on a shared folder, which limits the amount of disk space that a user or group can consume.

FSRM is correct. The other options do nothing with the question (quota management).
