Add File Expiration Task Based on CCS Classifications

(Available only on Windows Server 2012)

'File expiration' refers to the process of identifying files that have 'expired' because they are no longer important or sensitive. You can flag files as expired if they have a specific CCS classification and, optionally, other characteristics. Windows then moves these expired files to an 'expiration folder' where you can process them as required. For example, you can flag files as expired if they have a low Personally Identifiable Information (PII) sensitivity and they have not been edited for 90 days. You identify expired files by setting up a file management task in the File Server Resource Manager.

The following instructions summarize the file encryption procedure in Windows Server 2012. For full details, see your Windows documentation.

To create a file expiration task

1. Launch the File Server Resource Manager.
2. Right-click File Management Tasks and select Create File Management Task.

   The Create File Management Task dialog appears.

3. Enter the following mandatory task details:
   • General tab: Enter a task name.
   • Scope tab: Specify the folder containing the files that you want to encrypt.
   • Action tab: Click 'File Expiration' in the Type list and specify which users have Read, Change, or Full Control permissions.
   • Condition tab: Add an expiration condition. Click Add and specify an expiration condition.

     For example, you can create a condition to move files to an expiration folder if the PII property has a value of 'Low' and the file has not been modified for 90 days. That is, the expiration task moves unmodified files with a low sensitivity into the expiration folder.

4. Specify the remaining task details in the Notification tab, Report tab, and the Schedule tab.

   For example, you can schedule the encryption task to run continuously or only at specific times.

5. Click OK to save the new file management task.
