File System Access Services and Technologies

Windows Server 2012 provides administrators with many different options to present file data to end users. These, of course, include the traditional file sharing methods, but also include presenting file data using web services. By default, Windows Server 2012 systems running the File Services role support Windows 2000 clients and later. To support legacy Windows clients, UNIX clients, or legacy Macintosh clients, may require additional services and security modifications to the data. Several of the options available for presenting file data to end users are included in the proceeding sections.
