Introduction

Distributed File System is a service that enables Windows Server 2012 to organize and manage file shares on single or multiple servers to support collaboration and redundancy. This ensures that users will be able to simultaneously collaborate on documents and view them in real time as changes are made anywhere in the world. In a post 911 world many companies are concerned about threats to their networks and Server 2012 provides enhanced security of corporate data and customer’s information using encryption services such as EFS and BitLocker. In this module you will install DFS to support file sharing and configure file security using EFS and BitLocker.
