File-server-windows

 The operating system used is windows server and it is applicable to most versions of windows server operating system.

1 Frist  of all I set up a static IP  address for the server , in this example the server IP address is 192.168.1.254

AFTER Setting the static ip address i changed the server name

In This Example the server name is sv1, 

 
You will be asked to restart the server after renaming, next install some more things for the server 
The purpose I will Trun the server into a Domain controller. Then make it a file server

And for easier resource management,, i install additional File server resource manager
Upgrading a Server to a Domain controller requires domain configuration.


you set up the domain according to your company or organization

Set recovery password

Then follow the steps adobe to complete the setup

The server will automatically restart and join the newly created domain

IP ADRESS

I Set the DNS address to be the  servers IP address

I set the DNS address to be the server's IP address

DNS 

Next you set up DNS as Adobe for the server .The purpose is the mapping between IP address and hostname.

will map between IP address 192.168.1.254 and hostname is sv1,will map between IP address 192.168.1.254 and hostname is sv1.

User Command Prompt To Check DNS settings, That 's IT,DNS as been set up for the server .

That's it, DNS has been set up for the server

ORGANIZATION

To divide resources for everyone in your company, divide them into Organizational Units, groups, and users
Then create accounts for each person, Everyone will be in a certain group

IN this example i add a new organizational unit name new York

Next i created two more groups named it and sale, The iT team has 2 members deep and Rahul

Members of the IT group cannot access the data of the sales group and vice versa 

Sharing

Next i set up sharing of the server hosting resources of the groups and their members.
the server has two hard drive one of which stores the windows operating system, The remaining hard drivee is used to store data  IT and sales group

The remaining hard drive is used to store data of IT and Sales groups ,This is a new unpartitioned hard drive so i initialized and partitioned It,i formatted it as NTFS and it Storage

Next I set up shared hosting as Adove,Ichose partition D to share for IT and sales group, This is the path for user to access the shared folder, you set it up so that user who don't have permission to the folder wont discover the folder over the network.

FOLDERS

Having set up sharing next i create folders for each group, IN the folder name DATA I create a new folder IT and folder sale. For the folder named it i set  the edit permission to the IT group
SO deep and Rahul have edit right permission to the IT group, SO deep and Rahul have edit right to this folder, Sales group members do not have permission to Access the data of the folder it.

similar to the folder named sale ,deep and Rahul cannot access the folder name sale. This  protects the privacy of groups within the same company or organization.
in addition it also make data management easier ,Next i will introduce one advantage when deploying  domain 
The IT folder will automatically map to the computers of the members of the IT group
You don't need to create a network drive map on the client side it will automatically generate the corresponding username

TO do that you create a new group policy as adove ,user configuration, preference ,windows settings drive Maps new .next you set the path chose the character for the drive Reconnect.

Join Domain

you update the setting with the Adove commend Time to check basic Setting, From a client i deep the domain if you want to join a domain ,you need to set up a static Ip address for it 
you set DNS IP address to be the server ip address 192.168.1.254, After setting up a static ip address i joined the domain
you will be asked to restart your windows computer to  ensure successful domain join

Set a limit

you now use deep username ad password to log in to your computer and Rahul the domain

Something interesting is about to happen , your computer will appear a new drive , so your file server is up and running , deep can create new files and upload files to the server

it bad id Rahul uploads a lot of large files and take up ,all of the server's resource

That's undesirable so I'll set a limit for groups There are several limit templates for you to use, you use one of them or create a new one if you want Here i will use an existing template and set it up for the server resources

that's undesirable so i ll set a limit for groups There are several limit templates for you to use you use one of them or create a new one if you want 

Here I will use an existing template and set it up for the IT group, deep and rahul can only upload up to 10GB of  data. I also prevent them from uploading executables against a folder called IT.You set a limit for the folder named Sale if you want

the drive has only 10GB capacity, just like the limit I set up, Here I have introduced the basic steps to create a file server for small organization, I set up a report for a folder called DATA to monitor the server's resources

Thanks to the report, you will know how much storage resources are used by teams and plan to

 upgrade if resources are running Low.I want to get the report twice in a week.

Conclusion

I then edited the DNS settings to make sure the clients could access the internet. Thus I have introduced the basic steps for you to create a file server for small company.

From here you will have advanced steps to deploy the server for your company
