Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

One possible solution to prevent domain users from saving executable files in a share named \SRVl\Data is to use file screening on the file server. File screening allows you to block certain files from being saved based on their file name extension. Here are the steps to configure file screening:

On the file server, openFile Server Resource Managerfrom theAdministrative Toolsmenu.

In the left pane, expandFile Screening Managementand click onFile Groups.

Right-click onFile Groupsand selectCreate File Group.

In theFile Group Propertiesdialog box, enter a name for the file group, such asExecutable Files.

In theFiles to includebox, enter the file name extensions that you want to block, such as.exe, .bat, .cmd, .com, .msi, .scr. You can use wildcards to specify multiple extensions, such as *.exe.

ClickOKto create the file group.

In the left pane, click onFile Screen Templates.

Right-click onFile Screen Templatesand selectCreate File Screen Template.

In theFile Screen Template Propertiesdialog box, enter a name for the template, such asBlock Executable Files.

On theSettingstab, select the optionActive screening: Do not allow users to save unauthorized files.

On theFile Groupstab, check the box next to the file group that you created, such asExecutable Files.

On theNotificationtab, you can configure how to notify users and administrators when a file screening event occurs, such as sending an email, logging an event, or running a command or script. You can also customize the message that users see when they try to save a blocked file.

ClickOKto create the file screen template.

In the left pane, click onFile Screens.

Right-click onFile Screensand selectCreate File Screen.

In theCreate File Screendialog box, enter the path of the folder that you want to apply the file screening to, such as\SRVl\Data.

Select the optionDerive properties from this file screen template (recommended)and choose the template that you created, such asBlock Executable Files.

ClickCreateto create the file screen.

Now, domain users will not be able to save executable files in the share named \SRVl\Data. They will be able to save other files to the share.

What if we set up a separate share for approved executables and have users request access if they need to install something? That way we maintain control without shutting down the main share completely.

It's definitely better than completely shutting down the main share for everyone.

I think it's worth trying out to see if it helps prevent any security risks.

It could be a bit of a hassle, but at least we would have more control over what is being saved on the main share.

But wouldn't it be a hassle for users to request access every time?

Haha, I can already imagine the angry emails from users who can't save their 'totally-not-virus.exe' files anymore. But you're right, we need a solution that doesn't cripple their workflow.

I agree, we need to balance security and usability. Maybe we could use file type filtering or access control lists to allow certain types of files but block executables specifically.

This question seems straightforward, but I'm a little worried about the potential impact on user productivity if we can't let them save executable files. Maybe we could explore a more targeted solution instead of just blocking everything.
