We will be implementing a remote desktop server farm, where users' profiles will be hosted on a file server. I believe that doing this will allow users to delete files from their desktop/documents folder etc, and still provide a way to restore from the recycle bin.
We also need to provide shared folders for users, so they can store documents pertinent to their department. The way we would normally do this would be using mapped drives to a SMB share on the file server.
The drawback to this, is that when deleting a file on a mapped drive, it is a permanent deletion, and unless we use shadow copies or somethin of that nature, we would have to restore from a tape/disk backup.
Are there any other recommended ways to provide access to shared folders on a central server, which are not permanent deletions?
not
go to the Recycle Bin. I see 3 possible solutions: 1. Deny the users the ability to delete files in the shared folders. 2. Use Shadow Copies or backups on the file server. 3. Use a third party product tocapture
deleted files on the file server. – joeqwerty Mar 14 '14 at 17:18
