Understanding the architecture, the design, and implementing the solution, to troubleshooting will be covered in a practical and easy-to-read manner. This book is packed with project-based examples with plenty of information about the architecture, functionality, and extensions of Dynamic Access Control to help you excel in real-life projects. The book guides you through all the stages of a successful implementation of Dynamic Access Control. Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Dynamic Access Control will teach you everything you need to know to create your own projects, and is an essential resource for reviewing or extending already existing implementations. The book initially takes you through the task of understanding all of the functionality and extensions with ideas and overviews to help guide you in the decision process.

Configuring Dynamic Access Control


The next steps will provide you with the main tasks to implement your first Dynamic Access Control configuration.

Create some test users in your Active Directory with a minimum of 10 users and:

  1. Define the Active Directory claim types.

  2. Country, Department, and Location for the folder structure decided earlier.

  3. Populate the three attributes for the 10 test users.

  4. Define the Resource properties for Country, Department, and Location.

  5. Define the Active Directory Access Rule as follows:

    (Resource.Country equals User.Country) AND (Resource.Location equals User.Location) AND (Resource.Department equals User.Department)
  6. Build a Central Access Policy and deploy the Access Rule to the file servers.

  7. Build a Resource Property list, and deploy it to the file servers.

  8. Open an administrative PowerShell, and fire gpupdate /force and Update-FSRMClassificationPropertyDefinition on the file server.

  9. On the resources, apply the Resource properties correctly.

    Note

    Every folder gets a Country, Department, and Location stamp.

  10. Apply the Central Access Policy to the file shares.

  11. Apply the Access Rule to all the Country shares and the Location and Department folders.

  12. Try out whether access is allowed or not.
