Notes

  • To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. If the computer is joined to a domain, members of the Domain Admins group might be able to perform this procedure. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to perform this procedure.

  • To open Remote Storage, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Remote Storage.

  • The position of a file rule on the list determines which rule is applied first. Remote Storage applies the first rule on the list that matches a file in a given folder.

  • There are a number of predefined rules provided when Remote Storage is first set up. You cannot move some of these predefined rules up or down the list. You can however, move all rules that you define up or down the list.

Information about functional differences

  • Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
