Changing shared folder settings

Changing shared folder settings

When you create a share, you can configure many basic and advanced settings, including those for access-based enumeration, encrypted data access, offline settings for caching, and management properties. In Server Manager, you can modify these settings by following these steps:

1. The Shares subnode of the File And Storage Services node shows existing shares for file servers that have been added for management. Press and hold or right-click the share with which you want to work, and then tap or click Properties.

2. In the Properties dialog box, shown in Figure 3–6, you have several options panels that can be accessed by using controls in the left pane. You can expand the panels one by one or tap or click Show All to expand all the panels at the same time.

FIGURE 3–6 Modify share settings by using the options provided.

3. Use the options provided to modify the settings as necessary, and then tap or click OK. The options available are the same whether you use the basic, advanced, or applications profile to create the shared folder.

TIP If you’re creating a share for general use and general access, you can publish the shared resource in Active Directory. Publishing the resource in Active Directory makes finding the share easier for users; however, this option is not available in Server Manager. To publish a share in Active Directory, press and hold or right-click the share in Computer Management, and then tap or click Properties. On the Publish tab, select the Publish This Share In Active Directory check box, add an optional description and owner information, and then tap or click OK.
