As seen here, the FSRM consists a few functions
1. Quota Management
To easily control users' storage quota. Quota is assigned to folders (not users), hence I guess you cannot define different quota for individuals within the same folder. Probably will need to do it the 2003 way, Disk managment > Drive properties > quota.
A good thing here is you can set notification to be sent when a certain threshold is met.
2. File Screening Management
This tool allows you to do file filtering for your file servers. You might want to control users from storing media files on the file server, this tool provides an easy way to do that.
and this tool goes by folder location as well, so we are not able to set individual screening here.
When the file type is being screened, users will receive an alert when they want to store the file, a notification can be set to send to a particular admin (it's good to set it to folder owners for their own discretion)
3. Storage Report Management
Storage Report Management allows you to generate reports for your file server.
4. Classification Management
This allows you to set a certain properties and rules on your files, for advance file management I guess. Not quite sure how to use this yet.
5. File Management Task
This allows you to generate a certain task when condition is met, and can be combined with Classification Management. Not quite sure how to use this yet.
