File Server Resource Manager
I recently received help on how to set up quotas for individual directories.
I also noticed this part called File Screen Templates from File Server Resource Manager, that certain file types could be excluded from being added to a specific directory. Can this be done? Can certain files be excluded from being placed into a specific directory? For example *.mp3 files.
How do I do this? I tried creating a new file screen template and then under File Screens I browsed to the path of the individual directory (which has a quota applied). I applied the new template to this directory. But after when I tried to put in a *.mp3 file into this directory, I was still able to copy the mp3 file in. How is this so and why didn't it work?
Would be grateful for guidance.

I used Active Screening Option

I've requested that this question be deleted for the following reason:
I manage to figure out the solution for this question by myself. I had certain questions of how it is to be done and the step by step method of implementing it. I managed to figure it out, and so am deleting this question, because the only response that i received was not really helpful to me get this implemented.

Hi,
I see that you figured it out by yourself :)
However, if you're interested and need some other help, please let me know. I would try to prepare a guide for you.

Krzysztof is there any way to perform this restrictions on users individual PC's and laptops?
Hi, that's no problem. There is no rush :]
According to FSRM with file screening option and local workstations. Yes, it is possible but it requires some administrative work.
You need to share folder(s) on each of your clients and then apply File Screening template to them but it's inconvenient in administration. You need to do that on each PC by yourself :/ Of course, you can always share whole C-drive and other drives (if they exist) but it still requires to apply them to each workstation :|
Maybe some 3rd party tools are available with central administration panel? (I don't know any)

Krzysztof how do you apply the File Screening template to local workstations? Ok, assuming we share a folder on each PC or the entire C Drive. Then how do we apply the template from the server onto the workstation?
Ben, you got me ;) I check that, and it doesn't work. When I specified network path with share name, template wasn't applied. So, my fault, I've never that this before for workstations and I thought that applying template on a network share is possible. But it isn't. Sorry for that :(
Then, you have to look for 3rd party software.
