File Policy Enforcer

File Policy Enforcer

Simple and cost effective file policy enforcement for Windows

File Policy Enforcer allows server administrators to create and enforce file policies for their Windows systems. A file policy ensures that users and applications use file resources according to specified rules, thus making sure that file usage/storage comply with regulations available, and avoids system outages due to lack of resources.

Feature list:

Multiple policies
Policy targets can be be directories or Active Directory containers from where users' home directories and mail adresses are extracted.
File count, -size and/or extensions as selection criteria
Warning notification or file removal as policy actions
Flexible definition of time periods and time/date values
E-mail notifications and templates with scan codes
Wild card based exclusion of files
Persistent storage to resume operations
Installs as a service and available all the time
Configurable via a simple set of parameters in a configuration file

Examples of Files Policy Enforcer use:
