How to Install the FSRM (File Server Resource Manager) in Windows Server 2012

 

File Server Resource Manager is a suite of tools that allows administrators to understand, control, and manage the quantity and type of data stored on their servers. By using File Server Resource Manager, administrators can place quotas on folders and volumes, actively screen files, and generate comprehensive storage reports. This set of advanced instruments not only helps the administrator to efficiently monitor existing storage resources but it also aids in the planning and implementation of future policy changes.

To do this, I have created a Virtual PC with Windows 2012 Server and Promoted the server as a Domain controller. then enable the file Serve.

To enable FSRM you can follow the below mentioned steps.

Go in to Manage > Add Roles and Features
