NTFS Features for Windows 2003

In the Windows environment we can use the file system is FAT and NTFS two kinds, then some users will ask questions, these two file systems which is more suitable for me? This requires us to have an understanding of both of these features.

First understand the security of using NTFS permissions to access folders and files for users and groups

Because we're talking about a series of courses on WINS2003, we're here today to talk about the NTFS file system that applies to the server

The first thing we need to know is that if our system disk was originally a FAT partition and now we need to change to an NTFS partition, what if we do? Here's a command to remember. Convert e:/fs:ntfs This command can safely convert the original FAT partition to an NTFS partition. The data in the original partition is not lost (including the system disk). Enter a volume label when you use the command. But remember this command is fine, but it's a one-way transformation, in other words, only from FAT to NTFS, not from NTFS to FAT, remember!!!

This tutorial we mainly in the form of experiments to complete, first of all, we consider the following issues, in the work to create a file server common problems:

Environment: System has two users UserA and UserB, and corresponding folders A and B

How do I make folder a read only by UserA, and UserB not read?

How do I have Full control over folder a UserB the files in folder A are not read by UserB?

How do I get UserA to use less than 100Mb of disk space?

How to hold as many files as possible under a certain disk space?

You can find these problems, if the partition is fat can not be completed, and the use of NTFS features can be completed!

NTFS Features:

1) You can set permissions

2 better scalability makes it possible to expand to a large drive

4) file encryption

5) ad needs to use NTFS

6 disk quotas, which can be used to monitor and control the amount of disk space used by individual users

7) Application of shadow copy

3 Compatibility of file systems:

But here is to point out that there are actually 3 kinds of fat: fat12,fat16,fat32
