Design the folder structure and include information about the permissions (sharing and NTFS) you plan to assign to each share and group of users. Name each share appropriately. What tool will you use to create the shares? Why? What protocols and technologies (including file system) will be used to set up these shared folders? Explain the reason for using each protocol or technology.

Creating a Shared Folder Structure

CSM Tech Publishing has asked you to develop a file-sharing system for the company’s departments, which include Management, Marketing, Sales, Development, and Editorial. The following are some requirements for the file-sharing solution:

  • Management must be able to access all files in all the shares unless stated otherwise and must be able to create, delete, and change files.

  • The Management Department must have a share that only it can access, and each member of the department must be able to create, delete, and change files in the share.

  • Marketing and Sales should have one common folder that both departments’ users have access to. Members of both departments should be able to create new files, have full control over files they create, and view and change files created by other group members. They should not be able to delete files created by other members.

  • Sales should have its own share that only Sales and Management have access to. The Sales users must have full control over all files in the share.

  • Development and Editorial have their own shares that only these departments and Management have access to. The users from these two departments must have full control over all files in their department shares.

  • There should be a public share in which users in the Management Department can create, change, and delete documents, and all other users have the ability only to read the documents.

  • There should be a share available to management that no other users can see in a browse list. It contains confidential documents that only selected users in the Management Department have access to.

  • Users must be able to restore files they accidentally delete or restore an earlier version of a file without having to use a backup program.

  • Sales users must be able to access the files in the Sales share when they’re traveling whether they have an Internet connection or not. When Sales users are back in the office, any changed files should synchronize with their mobile devices automatically. All Sales users have a Windows 8.1 laptop or tablet computer running Windows RT 8.1.

  • All users except Management users should be limited to 10 GB of space on the volume housing shares. Management users should be limited to 50 GB.

Given these requirements, perform the following tasks and answer the following questions:

  1. Design the folder structure and include information about the permissions (sharing and NTFS) you plan to assign to each share and group of users. Name each share appropriately.

  2. What tool will you use to create the shares? Why?

  3. What protocols and technologies (including file system) will be used to set up these shared folders? Explain the reason for using each protocol or technology.
