  Scenario:   We have a File Server on Windows Server 2008R2 . The File Server has several departmental shares & it is accessed by the department user only. But among them few have RW (Read & Write) permission, rest have only R (Read) permission. Also every dept. share have disk quota & every authorized user has their shared folder mapped as a network drive in their Windows Explorer. In my environment, I have implemented the procedure for 15 different departmental share folders accessing different departments consist of 10-30 users each dept & each shared folder volume is 100 GB to 500GB. Challenges: 1 .       Migrated Share Folders must have the same level of permission as on W2008 Server. 2.        Several Disk quota templates need to export to new W2019 to minimized the effort.   Users should be transparent to this migration & their access to the shared folder must be flowless – that meant users

Scenario: We have multi forest domain in our organization that means each location have separate single forest domain, but all are under single management umbrella. Recently there is one recommendation from Security Team to implement several settings of IE, Control Panel, Intranet, System, Network etc. & I found its count is almost 200. When I tried to create a Group Policy Object (GPO) for this, it took almost 7 hrs.   Challenges: Apply the same policy setting for other domains is a tedious job, only way out to import the GPO to other domains. But importing GPO to other domain (different forest) can’t be straight way – it can be possible with help of GPO backup & import the backup to other domain.   Procedure: 1.     After configure all the settings in GPO in our DC (i.e. Blue.COM), take the backup of GPO. PIX-01: Backup of GPO 2.     Copy the backup into the Domain Controller (i.e. Black.COM) where you want to import the GPO. 3.     Create a folder (i.e.
