fails. An added benefit of replicating all or part of a namespace is that DFS load-balances the
servers involved in replication, making file sharing more reliable and faster. A DFS namespace
can be domain based or stand-alone. Fault tolerance and load balancing are available only on a
domain-based namespace.
File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) is a suite of services and management tools for monitor-
ing storage space, managing quotas, controlling the types of files that users can store on a server,
and creating storage reports. When this role service is installed, the File Server Resource
Manager MMC is installed in Administrative Tools and Server Manager and contains three tools
(see Figure 6-23):

•
Quota Management
—Monitor and create quotas for volumes and folders and apply pre-
configured quota templates to volumes and folders.
•
File Screening Management
—Create file screens for volumes and folders to prevent users
from storing certain types of files in the volume or folder. Figure 6-24 shows a file screen
applied to the Q:\ drive to prevent storing audio and video files in that drive. A user who
attempts to store a blocked file receives an “Access denied” message. File screening can
also be set to allow saving the screened file on the volume while sending the user an e-mail
informing him or her of the violation.
