| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| access-based enumeration | allows you to hide files and folders from users who do not have the permissions needed to access them. |
| active screening | A file screen that is used to prevent users from storing files of a certain category within folders on an NTFS volume. |
| asymmetric encryption | Encryption that uses a pair of keys that are uniquely generated for a system or user account: a public key and a private key. |
| attribute | A feature of a folder or file that is used by a filesystem. |
| audit policy | A policy that configures folders and files to log events to the Security log according to the audit entries configured within the SACL. |
| BranchCache | An optional performance enhancement to offline file caching for Windows 7 and later clients that is not installed or configured by default. |
| Client for NFS | A feature that allows a Windows-based computer running Windows Server to access files stored on a non-Windows NFS server. |
| Common Internet File System (CIFS) | A file-sharing protocol that provides an open and cross-platform mechanism for requesting network server files and services. It is based on the enhanced version of Microsoft's Server Message Block (SMB) protocol for Internet and intranet file sharing. |
| DFS Management | A management tool used to manage the DFS Namespaces and DFS Replication server roles that comprise DFS. |
| DFS namespace | A shared, distributed folder that users can access. |
| DFS Namespaces | A role service in Windows Server that enables you to group shared folders located on different servers into one or more logically structured namespaces. It provides a central location from which users can access the different shared folders within their o |
| DFS Replication | A role service in Windows Server that enables you to efficiently replicate folders (including those referred to by a DFS namespace path) across multiple servers and sites. It must be installed on every server that synchronizes folder content |
| DFS replication group | A group used to configure folders on two or more file servers to synchronize their contents. |
| DFS staging folder | A temporary folder used by the DFS replication service to store files that need to replicate to other systems. |
| discretionary access control list (DACL) | A list of permissions given to user and group accounts and is used to grant or deny access to the resource. |
| Encrypting File System (EFS) | A filesystem feature that works within a workgroup or Active Directory domain environment. It provides file system-level encryption, enabling files to be transparently encrypted to protect confidential data from attackers with physical access to the compu |
| encryption algorithm | A series of mathematical steps executed in sequence to scramble data. |
| Event Viewer | A component of Microsoft's Windows operating system that lets administrators and users view the event logs on a local or remote machine. |
| File Explorer | A file manager application that provides a graphical user interface for accessing Windows file systems. |
| file group | A category of files grouped by file extension. |
| file screens | Used to prevent certain types of files (such as audio and video files) from being stored within a folder on the filesystem. |
| File Server Resource Manager | A tool that is used to set storage quotas and to control the types of files that can be saved to a file server. |
| folder quota | Used to limit the space consumed by a folder on the filesystem. |
| group ID (GID) | A number assigned to each UNIX user in a UNIX user database stored on a system. |
| Group Policy Management Editor | A Windows administration tool that allows a user to configure policies effecting the computer and network environment, password requirements, startup programs, and many other attributes. |
| hard quota | A folder quota that prevents users from storing files after a limit has been reached. |
| index | A pre-created list used in searching. |
| key | A random component of an encryption algorithm used to modify the steps within the algorithm. |
| metadata | A component that stores information about a folder or file. |
| Network File System (NFS) | A UNIX file sharing protocol that was introduced by Sun Microsystems and can be installed on Windows Server 2003 and later systems. |
| offline file caching | A feature of SMB. The feature caches network files and folders on a PC hard disk so that a user can access them when their PC is not connected to the network. |
| passive screening | A file screen that logs an event when active screening occurs. |
| private key | A key required to decrypt data. |
| public key | A key used to encrypt data. |
| publishing | A process in Active Directory that allows you to create objects that represent network resources, such as shared folders. |
| recovery agent | A Microsoft Windows user who has been granted the right to decrypt data that was encrypted by other users. The assignment of DRA rights to an approved individual provides an IT department with a way to unlock encrypted data in case of an emergency. |
| remote differential compression (RDC) | A feature of the DFS replication service when it replicates folder contents and it only replicates the changes made to each file by default. |
| Security log | A log that contains records of login/logout activity or other security-related events specified by the system's audit policy. |
| security principal | A user or group that is listed within a DACL or SACL. |
| Server for NFS | A server role required to share folders using NFS on Windows Server 2019. |
| Server Message Block (SMB) | The default file sharing protocol used by Windows systems. |
| shared permission | Share permissions manage access to folders shared over a network; they do not apply to users who log on locally. Share permissions apply to all files and folders in the share. |
| soft quota | A folder quota that allows files to be stored after the limit has been reached. |
| symmetric encryption | Reversible encryption algorithms where data can be decrypted by reversing the algorithm using the same key that was used to encrypt it. |
| system access control list (SACL) | An ACL that contains information used to audit access to the resource. |
| System log | A log file that contains events that are logged by the operating system components. |
| target | Subfolders in the DFS Namespace folder that represent the shared folders on the file servers within the organization. |
| Universal Naming Convention (UNC) | The standard for naming and accessing a network resource such as a network drive, printer, or server. |
| user ID (UID) | A number assigned to each UNIX user in a UNIX user database stored on a system. |
| user quota | Used to limit the space that users can consume within the filesystem. |
| Windows Indexing Service | The legacy service used to obtain a list of files whose name or content matches your search based on a pre-created list. |
| Windows Search Service | The current service used to obtain a list of files whose name or content matches your search based on a pre-created list called an index. |
