Purpose

The File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) API is used to limit the size of a given directory using directory quotas, restrict the type of data that can be stored under a given directory using file screens, and generate storage reports that administrators can use to analyze storage utilization. You can use FSRM on a local or remote server.

Developer Audience

The FSRM API is designed for use by C/C++ and Visual Basic programmers and those writing scripts. Familiarity with COM, file systems, and storage is required.

For conceptual information on FSRM, see Step-by-Step Guide for File Server Resource Manager in the Windows Server 2008 Technical Library on Technet.

Run-Time Requirements

The FSRM API is available starting with Windows Server 2008.
