So todays challenge. Hide visible folders under share to users who don’t have access.
Example
We create some new shares. Folders are then created under the share and NTFS permissions set.
Share Name : Shared Folder
Folder :
I created a share. When logged in as a user, i could see all the folders under the shared folder.
As you would expect, I could only open the folders I had access to.
So, is this suitable? It doesnt let users in to folders they dont have access to, but it does tell them which folders are there.
So this is where “Access Based Enumeration” might come in. This feature hides folders from users that do not have permission to that folder.
Access based enumeration (ABE) came out in Windows Server 2008.
How to setup Access Based Enumeration:
The next time a user logs in and views the share only users that have permissions to that folders under the share will be able to see them. The folders they dont have permission to will not appear.

Remote Desktop Roles in server 2012 R2
Deployment Options
Quick Start – Stand alone server
Server 2012 forces you to create a farm with all three roles installed (session host, connection broker and web access).
Tip : Avoid adding the role using role services – support by Powershell only. Use the remote desktop services wizard for installation.
Use session-based desktop, or Virtual machine based desktop deployment (hyper-v and client).
Session based deployment
Standard install – Multiple servers deployed
Standard will deploys roles over multiple servers
For this demo setup 3 RDS servers required
Note – Collections will need to be created manually and RemoteApps published manually
