File Server Share Access Assistance


                    Microsoft introduced one of the new features in Windows Server 2012 to enable customised Access Denied Message assistance that helps requester to get the share access and request the access via error message. 


                       Usually when user does not have share access, the user will be prompted the below popup and it will not guide them how to get access,



Now let jump in to the LAB and we will implement “Access Denied Message Assistance”.

The Assistance can be implementing in two ways, GPO or FSRM.

Now we are going to configure it by File Server Resource Manager (FSRM).

These labs give you some basic idea about the Access Denied Assistance, and there are few additional features are there where you can refer them into MS Library.

By implementing FSRM, we would be require SMTP Service, hence I have download Email Service Software (602 LAN Suite).

My Email Configuration

The Email Software can also be used as Proxy and Content Filter etc. now let see the Email Setup for my Lab.
The Share Folder Configuration on DC1 Server.
Now Install File Server Resource Manager on DC1 and Configure the “Access Denied Message Assistance”


Let’s set Custom Access Denied Assistance Message


Finally Configure Email Setup, if user interested to access share the user can request via Assistance.


Let’s access share and see the error.


Opps, we have received the error but this time the Message is not annoying, whereas it is suggesting whom do I need to contact, let me check how “Request Assistance” can help.

The assistance prompted with the above form, I just filed it and send it to owner.


The owner received my Request via Email their review. 


The FSRM have too many great feature, this one I feel quiet helpful for System Admins and Users for their day to day Operations.
