6.5 File Services Management Protocols
The File Services Management protocols allow an administrator to remotely configure and manage file servers. They also support Distributed File System (DFS) replication and file replication operations. The administrator uses Admin Client to configure various policies that apply to the object store on a file server, such as quotas (limits on user disk space use) and screening (restrictions on the type of content allowed to be stored), and to manage the shares.
The File Services Management Protocols Overview [MS-FSMOD] describes the relationship among the protocols required for remote administration and management of file servers that share data within an organization.
The member protocols are listed in [MS-FSMOD] section 2.2, and the protocol layering relationship for the File Services Management protocols is described and illustrated in [MS-FSMOD] section 2.1.5.
