Managing Remote Storage Resources
Applies To: Windows Server 2008
To manage storage resources on a remote computer, you have two options:
Connect to the remote computer from the File Server Resource Manager snap-in (which you can then use to manage the remote resources).
Use the command-line tools that are installed with File Server Resource Manager.
Either option allows you to work with quotas, screen files, and generate storage reports on the remote computer's volumes and folders.
For example, you can:
Connect to another computer in the domain using the File Server Resource Manager snap-in and review storage utilization on a volume or folder located on the remote computer.
Create quota and file screen templates on a local server and then use the command-line tools to import those templates into a file server located in a branch office.
