redesigned installation program makes Storage 
Exec easier than ever to install and configure.

features that make effective storage management 
easy, efficient, and virtually effortless.

Quota Management 

• 

Extensive Reporting 

• 

File Filtering and Blocking 

 

 
 

Automated Quota Management 
Storage Exec can create and enforce quota limits 
on individual users, files, folders, or partitions. 
When pre-set thresholds are exceeded, Storage 
Exec will send real-time notifications that enforce 
quota policies and alert users of storage usage. 

File Blocking 
Administrators can set up real-time filters that block 
inappropriate, non-business file types such as 
graphics, MP3s, and viruses from being stored on 
the server. Storage Exec will screen the. 
files even if clever users attempt to disguise 
unauthorized file types as legitimate file types. 
Simply select the network object, select which file 
types to restrict, and keep servers free from 
unnecessary, non-business files. If a user attempts 
to write a blocked file type onto a server, they will 
receive an error message indicating the file type is 
prohibited. 

 

 

 

 
Extensive Reporting 
Reports provide an overview of disk consumption 
as well as information required to manage space 
effectively. Reports can provide a wealth of 
information to help identify inappropriate file types, 
files and applications being stored on non-
designated servers or partitions, and identify files 
not being included in the backup policies. In 
addition, Storage Exec enables drill down reporting 

where administrators can use active HTML reports 
to open, move or delete files right from a very 
familiar web browser view. 

Storage Exec™ is now available in multiple editions 
that can be purchased to fit your environment: 

 

Storage Exec offers storage quota management, 
file auditing, file blocking, and basic reporting 
capabilities. Add-on options allow you to extend the 
functionality of Storage Exec to remote Windows 
computers. 

Storage Exec Small Business Server Edition offers 
the same functionality, but is a lower cost solution 
to be installed and run with Microsoft Small 
Business Server Premium and Standard Editions. 

 

Storage Exec has a variety of options and agents 
that enhance Storage Exec functionality and enable 
users to customize Storage Exec to better fit their 
storage management needs.   

 

Enterprise Administration Option: The Enterprise 
Administration Option (EAO) integrates storage 
management with Windows Active Directory for 
easier administration of enterprise-wide storage 
management. In addition, users can establish 
space allocation alarms and actions, schedule 
report generation, receive chargeback reports, 
block unauthorized content and integrate with data 
protection and availability products via Active 
Directory hierarchical object management.
