Using File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) to protect files stored inside of documents with RMS Encryption

Scenario:

Corporate policy states that sales employees should not be storing customer credit card information especially credit card numbers on the file servers.  As the administrator of the file sever you have been tasked with locating any files that have what look like suspected credit card numbers based on known numerical stings.  You have automated the process and classify the card based off of vender.

It is now time to use FCI to protect the discovered files with RMS Encryption.

Let’s get started.

  1. Launch the File Server Resource Manager from the Tools dropdown menu in Server Manager.

  1. To create a File Management Task either Right click on File Management Task and click on Create File Management Task or click on Create File Management Task in the Actions Panel
  1. In the Create File Management Task dialog box, on the General tab of Create Classification Rule type the desired name, click Scope tab.

  1. On the Schedule tab, configure the desired automatic schedule of when you would like the task to run then click

008-schedule-File-Server-Resource-Manager

Now that the File management task has been created, execute the task to verify that it works as desired.

  1. To run a File Management Task either Right click on the desired File Management Task and click on Run File Management Task or click on Create File Management Task in the Actions Panel.
