By default, all shares allow end users to configure offline file synchronization as they desire. Certain folders-for example, the My Documents or Documents folders-when redirected to a Windows Server , Windows Server , or Windows Server R2 system, will automatically enable and configure the folder to be synchronized.
To synchronize additional shares, perform the following steps on the server and the workstation:. Share options or features include the following: Determining whether the share will be visible or hidden, based on the share name Setting the description of the share Configuring the type of share; if Server for NFS is installed, there will be two options Configuring the number of simultaneous connections allowed through the share Configuring the cache or offline sync settings of the share Enabling or disabling BranchCache Configuring access-based enumeration to control folder and file visibility based on NTFS permissions Configuring NTFS permissions on the folder or volume hosting the file share Configuring share permissions to manage whether users can read, change, or have full control over a share Because sharing can be performed for CD drives, DVD drives, and FAT and NTFS volumes, the configurable share permissions are limited to Full Control, Change, and Read.
Client-Side Caching and Offline Files To provide flexibility for mobile users and to provide centralized storage for end-user data, Windows Server R2 shares can be configured to allow, enforce, or disable client-side caching of shared server data.
To synchronize additional shares, perform the following steps on the server and the workstation: Log on to the Windows Server R2 system with an account with administrator privileges.
Double-click on Roles, and then double-click on File Services. Select Share and Storage Management. In the tasks pane, right-click the share that needs to be available offline, and select Properties. On the Sharing tab, click the Advanced button. After that, you can enable ABE according with the commands described above.
In the properties of the network folder there is an Access-Based Enumeration option, if you change the value to Enable , ABE mode will be enabled for all shared folders created using this GPO. Just wanted to wake this post up with a Thank you, Top marks on the tutorials above made my live a little easier with r2… I can build a domain from scratch but could I find access enumeration after looking at it in the face…. Thank you. Thanks D. Notify me of followup comments via e-mail.

In corporate environment, ABE combines perfectly with DFS folders by hiding folders from the user and providing a more convenient structure of the public folders tree. The redundant information in the network folders is not displayed for User. The administrator no longer has to answer questions about the lack of access. However, the Access Based Enumeration has a serious minus — an additional server load.
The load depends on the number of users per server and the number of objects in the shares. During heavy load, the speed of opening the folder may significantly decrease. However, you will not be able to edit permissions to hide folders from any groups or users unless you migrate the namespaces to the Windows Server mode. Access-based enumeration does not prevent users from getting a referral to a folder target if they already know the DFS path.
Only the share permissions or the NTFS file system permissions of the folder target shared folder itself can prevent users from accessing a folder target. DFS folder permissions are used only for displaying or hiding DFS folders, not for controlling access, making Read access the only relevant permission at the DFS folder level. In the console tree, under the Namespaces node, right-click the appropriate namespace and then click Properties.
Click the Advanced tab and then select the Enable access-based enumeration for this namespace check box. Open a command prompt window on a server that has the Distributed File System role service or Distributed File System Tools feature installed.
You can control which users and groups can view individual DFS folders either by using the Windows interface or by using a command line. In the console tree, under the Namespaces node, locate the folder with targets for which you want to control visibility, right-click it and then click Properties.
