How to define a file group in windows file server resource manager with multiple file extensions.
Option 1: Create File Group Name Manually with Windows GUI Go to FSRM File Screening Management. Select File Group. Create a file group with a name and included extensions (e.g., name: 'malware files', include file types: '"*.2xx9", "*.73i87A",). In this case, adding each bulk file is very difficult. Option 2: Create File Group Name and Add Multiple Extensions with Windows PowerShell Using PowerShell Run the following command to create the file group: powershell New-FsrmFileGroup -Name "malware files" -IncludePattern @("*.2xx9", "*.73i87A") If this doesn't work, follow the steps below: Step-by-Step Guide Step 1: Create the File Group Name Manually Using GUI Refer to Option 1 for creating the file group named "malware files". Step 2: Define the File Group Name powershell $fileGroupName = "malware files" Step 3: Define the New File Extensions and Patterns powershell $newFilePatterns = @( "*.2xx9", "*.73i87A", "*.911", "*.a", "*.aaa", "*.abc", "*.AES256", "*.asasin", "*.avos", "*.bat", "*.better_call_saul", "*.bloc", "*.boost", "*.btc" ) Step 4: Get the Existing File Group powershell $fileGroup = Get-FsrmFileGroup -Name $fileGroupName Step 5: Combine the Existing Patterns with the New Patterns powershell $combinedPatterns = $fileGroup.Patterns + $newFilePatterns Step 6: Remove Duplicate Patterns powershell $combinedPatterns = $combinedPatterns | Select-Object -Unique Step 7: Update the File Group with the Combined Patterns powershell Set-FsrmFileGroup -Name $fileGroupName -Include $combinedPatterns That's all!
Drive map acting weird through GPO
We are having a really weird issue with mapping a drive through GPO. We used Carbonite Migrate to migrate a server to a new data center. All other functionality is fine. We have a User drive that is mapped through the GPO using the syntax \\servername.domain.local\Users. The drive maps to the user but the weird thing is that it shows a very limited amount of content in the shared folder. If we disconnect and map manually without using the suffix information, the mapping is correct with the correct data. Now we tried to test just through the file explorer and when we use the FQDN it shows some limited version of the shared folder. In the properties the General tab shows nothing, the Network tab shows: Computer name: this is correct Computer type: Windows backup Domain: this is correct The Offline files tab shows This folder is Offline. What is happening here with the GPO drive map and how do I trace where this is actually mapping too?HOW TO: Create a Windows Server 2019 NAS / FileServer from the command line

Cannot access File Server (Windows Server 2019) from one workstation (Windows 10 Pro)
Hi everybody. I have Small Business network with one file server and 5 workstations in domain. There was a blackout and I've been experiencing some difficulties. Now, none of the Workstations can see the server into the network. The five workstation were configured with "map network drive" to access certain APPs to the server into the network. Four of the workstation can access the APPs, even though they can't see the server on the network. One in particular cannot access the APPs, nor see the server into the network. All workstations have Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, Norton antivirus and our file server is Windows Server 2019. I tried few things suggested on the Internet but it didn't work. Please, I need your suggestionsAnnouncing the Data Classification Toolkit for Windows Server 2012 R2!
