Serveurs de fichiers - Episode 11 - FSRM et la classification de fichiers

Introduction

This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on using File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) to classify files in Windows Server 2022. Understanding file classification is essential for implementing dynamic access control, enhancing data management, and ensuring security on file servers.

Step 1: Create a Classification Property

To begin classifying files, you need to create a classification property that will define the criteria for your data.

1. Open the File Server Resource Manager on your Windows Server.
2. Navigate to the Classification section.
3. Select Classification Properties.
4. Click on Create Property and fill out the necessary details.
   • Name your property (e.g., "Confidentiality Level").
   • Define the type (e.g., text, number).
   • Set any default values if applicable.

Practical Tips

• Choose clear and meaningful names for your properties to avoid confusion later.
• Consider how these properties will be used in access control scenarios.

Step 2: Create Classification Rules

Once your property is set up, you can create rules that determine how files will be classified based on their contents.

1. In the FSRM interface, go to Classification Rules.
2. Click on Create Rule.
3. Define the rule criteria:
   • Select the classification property you created previously.
   • Specify the conditions for classification (e.g., file type, content keywords).
4. Save the rule.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

• Ensure that the conditions are specific enough to avoid misclassification.
• Test your rules on a small set of files before applying them broadly.

Step 3: Execute Classification Rules

After creating classification rules, the next step is to execute them and classify your files accordingly.

1. Go to the Classification Management section in FSRM.
2. Select the Run Classification option.
3. Choose the target folders where the classification should be applied.
4. Start the classification process.

Real-World Application

• Use this feature to classify sensitive files effectively, ensuring that only authorized users have access based on the classification.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you learned how to create classification properties and rules in FSRM, as well as how to execute these rules to classify files on your server. Proper classification is crucial for managing access control dynamically and safeguarding sensitive data.
