NTFS Discovery: Decide what to collect from any computer in the discovery

When you run an NTFS discovery, it is resolved to a list of computers and folders. Folders will be accessed using the share path and you must have read access to the share. Accessing folders using the share path is useful if shares are distributed, as in the case for DFS shares or Net App filers where administrative shares are disabled or not available.

The NTFS object that is being shared (for example a folder) is collected, and will be displayed in the report. For example, folders and files on a share called \\NYC_SVR\TrainingMaterials that is physically located on the computer named NYC_SVR in the path C:\HR\NYC\NewHires\TrainingMaterials would be accessed and displayed as \\NYC_SVR\TrainingMaterials.

For all computers in the discovery, you need to decide the starting point for your collection. This combines with your global scopes and recursion level to determine what folders are collected from each computer in the scope.

You must specify how to collect the information from each computer in the discovery. You can collect all available public shares, collect all available volumes, or collect only the selected shares, folders, and DFS shares. The following table outlines these options.

 

Collect all available public shares

The following data is collected:

Medium

 

High

Collect all available volumes

All folders on any computer resolved from the scope are collected, unless:

NOTE: Based on your selected scope, if you are collecting against NAS devices, you have the option to use specified NAS Configurations.

High

Collect only selected shares, folders and DFS shares

This option is displayed when either:

When this option is selected, the NTFS discovery will only collect applicable folders and shares without performing the collection of all public shares and volumes.

Medium

The following table outlines the additional information that can be collected during the discovery. Collecting additional information impacts discovery performance. Options with a high performance cost will slow discovery performance more than options with a medium or low performance cost.

 

Folder Options

You have options to choose how deep into the tree the discovery will collect data.

 

The default is to collect all folder levels, starting from the included scope.

High

You can collect just the root level by setting the folder depth to 0.

You can choose the number of levels to collect, starting from the included scope, by setting the folder depth as desired. The root is not counted as a recursion level. If you have an excluded scope within an included scope, no folders below the exclusion are collected. In a very complicated nested set of includes and excludes along the same branch, the recursion level is reset with each includes scope.

Medium

File Options

You have options to choose what file information is collected.

 

 

Medium

Option available if collecting files and their basic details.

Requirement: Microsoft Office must be installed on the Enterprise Reporter node computer.

High

Option available if collecting files and their basic details.

High

Permission Options

 

 

 

High

Option available if collecting files and their basic details.

High

Selecting this option reduces the high performance cost of collecting all file permissions

 

Collects the permissions that are Added, Modified, and Removed for a file or folder as compared to the parent.

NOTE: Only the DACL and Owner permissions are collected.

High

You can choose to recursively collect the members of any groups found in the collection of file or folder permissions by selecting this option.

High

Advanced Options

 

 

A collection task is always created for each computer in an NTFS discovery. Selecting this option will create a task per share for each computer to allow tasks to be load balanced using multiple nodes.

 

The following options further refines how collection tasks are handled. When collecting additional attributes, especially ones with a high performance cost, consider enabling these performance options to help improve collection performance.

Folder Options

You have options to choose how deep into the tree the discovery will collect data.

The default is to collect all folder levels, starting from the included scope.

You can collect just the root level by setting the folder depth to 0.

You can choose the number of levels to collect, starting from the included scope, by setting the folder depth as desired. The root is not counted as a recursion level. If you have an excluded scope within an included scope, no folders below the exclusion are collected. In a very complicated nested set of includes and excludes along the same branch, the recursion level is reset with each includes scope.

Permission Options

 

Selecting this option reduces the high performance cost of collecting all file permissions.

Advanced Options

 

A collection task is always created for each computer in an NTFS discovery. Selecting this option will create a task per share for each computer to allow tasks to be load balanced using multiple nodes.

The following options determine how target computers are resolved during discoveries.

 

Allow a configurable number of seconds for a target computer to respond to a ping request

Pings target computers at collection time to determine the existence of target computers on the network before processing tasks.

Resolve target computers with disjoint namespaces

Verifies the existence of target computers with disjoint namespaces by using their DNS host names and, if that fails, by using their NetBIOS names.

The scopes are now selected and configured. It is a good idea to review your scopes before continuing.

NTFS Discovery: Configure NAS Host Devices

If you have selected to Collect all available volumes for an NTFS discovery and the targets to be collected contain NAS host devices, you must add the configuration and credentials for each NAS host device.

NTFS Discovery: Configure your file collection

You can decide what files, if any, to collect from the folders you targeted. You can use both wildcards and regular expressions to include or exclude groups of files. These are applied to every scope in the discovery. Both explicit and inherited permissions are collected for all files included in the discovery.

Click Collect files and their basic details like size and attributes.
1
Ensure that Using wildcards is selected. If necessary, click to change.
3
Click Include or Exclude.
1
Ensure you Using Regex is selected. If necessary, click to change.
NOTE: Below the input box for Include/Exclude the option Using wildcards (click to change) or Using regex (click to change) is displayed in light blue. Click this option to change the expression type.
2
Type in the desired expression, using Microsoft® .NET Framework or Perl® 5 syntax.
For more information, search Microsoft.com for Microsoft® .NET Framework regular expressions.
3
Click Include or Exclude.

Click Remove.

Select File Options | Collect files and their basic details like size and attributes.

Select Permission Options | Collect file permissions.
3
To refine your collection of files, select Only collect and store files which have explicitly granted permissions.
NOTE: If you select Only collect and store files which have explicitly granted permissions, files that only have inherited permissions are ignored when you run the discovery. These files will not be available to reporting users.
NOTE: To collect the members of all groups included in the file permissions, make sure If a group is found when collecting permissions, recursively collect group members is selected on the Scopes page.
1
Select File Options | Collect files and their basic details like size and attributes.

Select File Options | Collect advanced file metadata such as author and title.

Choosing Your Registry Scopes

Registry scopes determine what information will be collected when you run the discovery. There are several steps you should take to properly design your discovery.
