70-412 Chapter 6: Configuring Advanced File Services

Front 1

is a Server Role, that allows us to configure quota policy, configure file screens to prevent users from uploading media to our file server…etc

Back 1

FSRM

Front 2

is a caching server that works with the current version of Windows Server and client, but also With Server 2008 and Windows 7, that caches content from SMB and HTTP(S)

Back 2

Branch Cache

Front 3

is used with Windows Update, is an adaptable transmission protocol, error correction…etc; and the database engine is “Extensible Storage Engine”(ESE)

Back 3

BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer)

Front 4

This mode involves a BranchCache enabled file server locally present in each site, and via group policy, we configure the client computers to work with BranchCache, and we also configure the file server through group policy as well

Back 4

Hosted Cache;
Advantages: Your cached data is always going to be available & the optimization works across subnets

Front 5

This mode implements “P2P” client caching, using multicast IP. Peers on a single subnet can multicast as well as another peer on a different subnet, but the optimization doesn’t work between the two different subnets.

Back 5

Distributed Cache

-*Disadvantage: This does not work across multiple subnets
-*Advantage: Cost savings, because we’re not implementing a local caching server

Front 6

How does BranchCache work?

Back 6

Step 1: The client computer is going to make a SMB request to a shared folder or an HTTP(S) connection to an IIS based web server that exist in the Main Office, possibly a SharePoint Server; The user sees a file in the documents library and goes to download it.
Step 2: The Content Server authenticates and authorizes the user against their ACL/ACEs, and sends hashes/IDs (file identifiers) back to the client
Step 3: Depending upon whether you are using distributed or hosted cache mode. Distributed: The clients is going to multicast it’s local subnet looking for peers on the same subnet (P2P)
4. If the local BranchCache has the content and it matches the hashes/IDs sent by Content Server, then the BranchCache server serves the file to the client; If the file was modified on the Content Server, the local Caching Server check against the hashes/IDs and verify that they don’t match and would go over the WAN link and download the file, then deliver it to the client

Front 7

What is the Server Side Configuration for BranchCache?

Back 7

-*1. Install the BranchCache feature on your host (file) servers
-*2. Configure BranchCache servers via GPO
-*3. Mark the appropriate file shares that will take advantage of BranchCache.

Front 8

What is the Client Side Configuration for BranchCache?

Back 8

-*1. Use group policy to Enable and tweak our BranchCache settings.
-*2. Make Windows Firewall allowances for BranchCache

Front 9

this is basically us tagging file system resources; on a file by file basis, we can stamp files to denote their value in the organization

Back 9

File Classification Infrastructure

Front 10

deals with metadata tags that are used to describe your shared files in your organization, and we can create “access lists” based on the folder and file metadata properties

Back 10

Dynamic Access Control

Front 11

gives the user a very clear message on what they’re trying to access and how they can seek remediation, and the Administrator can see what the user was trying to access and why they were denied.

Back 11

Access Denied Assistance

Front 12

We can create regular expression based rules that will search through the content of every file/folder and look for particular strings;This serves as an engine for sifting through those files, stamping them with metadata properties

Back 12

Auto Classification

Front 13

we can take action on those files and do whatever we want with them. (copy, move, archive

Back 13

File Management Tasks

Front 14

allows us to granularly perform audit policies for file access using expressions instead of having to tag multiple folders and gather 1,000s of audit entries potentially

Back 14

Expression-based audit policies

Front 15

is a built in server that provides interoperability with Linux/Unix.

Back 15

Network File System (NFS) v4.x

Front 16

Why would we want NFS?

Back 16

-*Integrates with Failover Clustering-we can present NFS data in a high availability context
-*-*Windows/Linux integration, esp VMWare ESXi/vSphere
-allows Linux users to get to shared data transparently using their native network protocol
-*Allows you to create highly available ESXi VMs over NFS v4 or 3 in WC

Front 17

What are the group polices necessary to implement BrancheCache ?

Back 17

1.Turn on BranchCache*”- specifies whether BranchCache is enabled on client computers
2.Enable Automatic Hosted Cache Discovery by Service Connection Point**-the specifies whether client computers should look for a hosted cache server
3.Set BranchCache Distributed Cache Mode**- enable this to maximize your client workstations ability to reach cache resources from its peers as well
4.Hash Publication for BranchCache” **and select the option “Allow hash publications only for shared folders on which BranchCache is enabled
5.WFAS> “Inbound Rules”>Create 2 Inbound Rules; BranchCache-Content Retrieval(use HTTP) & BranchCache-Peer Discovery (Uses WSD

Front 18

Front 19

What Roles & Features do you need to install to implement BranchCache?

Back 19

1.Roles:File & Storage Services>Select “BranchCache for Network Files
2.Select “BranchCache in the features list

Front 20

cmdlet tells us if BranchCache enabled, it’s startup type, what the client mode is set for and most importantly

Back 20

Get-BCStatus

Front 21

What is the most important thing that we look for when we run Get-BCStatus for the Content Server?

Back 21

ContentServerConfiguration”>“ContentServerIsEnabled : True”

Front 22

What is the most important thing that we look for when we run Get-BCStatus for the Caching Server?

Back 22

HostedCacheServerConfiguration”>”HostedCacheServerIsEnabled: True”

Front 23

we need to generate hashes for our website, and we do this through PowerShell typing:

Back 23

publish-BCWebContent C:\inetpub\wwwroot

Front 24

pre-stage cached content on our caching server by running?

Back 24

Export-BCCachePackage

Front 25

we want to register this as an Service Connection Point; as a server that can cache resources on behalf of clients

Back 25

PowerShell:
-Enable-BCHostedServer –RegisterSCP
-the service connection point is what gives this server special privilege to serve as a cache server

Front 26

Reboot the Branche Cache Client service by typing:

Back 26

Get-Service peerdistsvc | restart- service
