The Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in enables management of the file features and functions directly from a Windows client. Features that can be configured using the snap-in include:
- AntiVirus: Enables configuring anti-virus parameters such as file extensions to scan or exclude, maximum file size to scan, retry timeouts, and more.
- Audit Policy: Determines which security events are logged in the SMB security log. You can log successful attempts, failed attempts, both, or neither. These events can be viewed in the Windows Event Viewer.
- User Rights Assignment: Manages the privileges that users and groups have on the SMB server.
- HomeDir (home directories): Configures settings for the home directories feature. This feature can be used for options such as automatically creating home directories if they do not exist.
