Remarks

• File screen properties that are not modified by using command parameters remain unchanged.

• To create and manage file groups, use the Filescrn filegroup command.

• The **/sourcetemplate:**TemplateName parameter derives the following properties from the file screen template TemplateName:

  • File groups that are screened

  • The file screen type (active or passive)

  • Notifications (if configured)

  You can override the derived file groups and file screen type by using the /add-filegroup: and /type: parameters.

  To modify the derived notifications, use the modify-notification: parameter.

• To create and manage file screen templates, use the Filescrn template command.

• The shortest sequence of characters that uniquely identifies a parameter can be used as an abbreviation. For example, the following two commands are equivalent:

  filescrn s m /p:d:\scratch /t:p
  filescrn screen modify /path:d:\scratch /type:passive
  

• To perform operations on a remote computer by using the **/remote:**ComputerName parameter:

  • You must be logged on with a domain account that is a member of the Administrators group on both the local computer and the remote computer.

  • The remote computer must be running Windows Server 2008, and File Server Resource Manager must be installed.

  • The Remote File Server Resource Manager Management exception on the remote computer must be enabled. You enable this exception by using Windows Firewall in Control Panel.

Examples

• To modify the file screen configured on path D:\scratch on the remote computer FILESERVER1 to derive file screen properties from Screened Files Template, type:

  filescrn screen modify /path:d:\scratch /sourcetemplate:"Screened Files Template" /remote:fileserver1
  

• To add the Executable Files group to the list of blocked files in file screens configured in subfolders of D:\users, type:

  filescrn screen modify /path:d:\users\* /add-filegroup:"Executable Files"
