New-FsrmFileScreen

New-FsrmFileScreen

Creates a file screen.

Syntax

Parameter Set: cim:CreateInstance0
New-FsrmFileScreen [-Path] <String> [-Active] [-AsJob] [-CimSession <CimSession[]> ] [-Description <String> ] [-IncludeGroup <String[]> ] [-Notification <CimInstance[]> ] [-Template <String> ] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32> ] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The New-FsrmFileScreen cmdlet creates a file screen for a path on the server. A file screen blocks users from saving groups of files to a specified folder.

If you specify the Active parameter, the file screen prevents users from saving files that are members of blocked file groups, and generates notifications when users try to save blocked files. The file screen does not prevent users and applications from accessing files that were saved to the path before the file screen was created, regardless of whether the files are members of blocked file groups.

Parameters

-Active

Indicates that the server will fail any I/O operation that violates the file screen. If you do not specify this parameter, the server does not fail violating I/O operations and still runs any action that is associated with the file screen.

-ThrottleLimit<Int32>

The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Examples

Example 1: Create a passive file screen

This command creates a passive file screen on C:\Shares that logs any files that match the "Non-HTML text files" file group. The file screen template is passive because the command does not specify the Active parameter. This means that users can create non-HTML text files.

PS C:\> New-FsrmFileScreen -Path "C:\Shares" -Description "Filter Non-HTML text files" –IncludeGroup "Non-HTML text files"

Example 2: Create an active file screen

The first command creates a File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) action object and stores the results in the $Notification variable. The action sends an email notification to the file owner and administrator. The RunLimitInterval parameter specifies an interval of 2 minutes before the server can send the email notification again.

This second command creates an active file screen on C:\Shares\Ctrshare03 that restricts any files that match the "Non-HTML text files" file group. When a user attempts to create a non-HTML text file, the file screen performs the notification action stored in the $Notification variable.

PS C:\> $Notification = New-FsrmAction -Type Email -MailTo "[Admin Email];[File Owner]" -Subject “Warning: attempted to create a non-HTML text file” -Body “You attempted to create a non-HTML text file. This is not allowed.” -RunLimitInterval 120
PS C:\> New-FsrmFileScreen -Path "C:\Shares\Ctrshare03" –IncludeGroup "Non-HTML text files" -Notification $Notification -Active

Example 3: Create a file screen from a file screen template

This command creates a file screen on C:\shares\ctrshare03 based on the settings in the "Block Image Files" template.

PS C:\> New-FsrmFileScreen -Path "C:\shares\ctrshare03" –Template "Block Image Files"
