- 45. Hyper-V What is Virtualization and Why? Benefits of Using Virtualization • Space, Power, Cooling • Less Management (at least centralized) • Optimize Resources to the max. • Greener, easier to backup, easier to replicate, etc.
- 46. Hypervisor Hypervisor Types: • Type 1: Native or Bare Metal (Hyper- V) • Type 2: Hosted (VMWare Workstation) Hyper-V needs 64-Bit processor BIOS Should Support Virtualization RAM & Storage Consideration

- 61. Share & NTFS Share Vs. NTFS permissions Share NTFS Network Only, no control over local access Local and Network access First line of defense Primary tool to control access Options are: Read, change, Full Much more Applies to folders only Applies to files & folders No inheritance Many options available for inheritance
- 62. Share • Cumulative permissions apply (deny wins) • Can be combined with NTFS perms. • Administrative Share • Access-Based Enumeration NTFS • Change Owner • Inheritance apply order
- 63. • Permission can be either additive or subtractive (start with all denied then allow, or start with all allow then deny) • Effective access: the result of applying these rules: •Deny overrides allow •Allow permissions are cumulative •Explicit perm takes precedence over inherited • Authorizing occurs to SID for users
- 64. Offline Files • Applies to network shares • Files stay available when disconnected • High reliable sync. Mechanism • Can be configured using Offline settings or GPO • Needs to be enabled first, then apply on folders
- 65. Disk Quotas • Limit disk usage • Enabled on volume level • Soft Quota & Hard Quota • File Server Resource Manager FSRM is handy • FSRM can apply quotas on folders, Windows Explorer on volumes only • File Screening, Data Deduplication • Storage Reports Management
- 66. Volume Shadow Copy • Used in VM snapshots • Used by backup operations (Windows, Acronis) • Used for File Recovery In File Recovery: • Quick restore for accidental deletions • Scheduled • Used on the machine not only shares
- 67. • VSS is configured under volume properties • VSS is replaced with File History, starting Win. 8 • On servers, enabled under driver properties under disk management • VSS by default creates two copies, at 7:00 AM and 12:00 PM
- 68. Work Folders • Similar to Offline Files feature • Allows access to joined & non-joined domain workstations • Enables managing BYOD • Transparent conflict resolution • Hub-Spoke topology • Works with file screening, classification (can classify documents), quotas • Security policies for encryption, screen lock (data security if device was stolen)
- 69. Work Folders Configuration Server Side: • Define appropriate users and groups • Add & configure “work folders” role • DNS (workfolders.domain.com) • Certificates • Proxy Client Side: • Control panel configuration • Access using “work folders”
- 70. Printers Definitions: • Print Device • Printer • Print Server • Printer Driver Printing workflow: • PC > Printer > Driver > Print server > Print device
- 71. Network printers & Local printers • Central Management, drivers, easier to install, queue management, less cost Printer Management MMC • Printers Filtering Creating multiple instances (objects) of a printer, if we want to give higher priority for managers
- 72. Printing Options: • Direct print • Locally attached printer sharing • Network attached printing • Network attached printer sharing Printer Pool: Identical devices ONLY Adding 32-bit driver to a 64-bit server Easy Print
