Access-based Enumeration (ABE)\u00a0<\/strong>hide the objects (files and folders) from users who don\u2019t have NTFS permissions on a network shared folder.<\/p>\n

Access-based Enumeration (ABE<\/strong>) checks access permissions on file system objects before the user receives a list of the folder contents. All inaccessible resources are simply not displayed.<\/p>\n

\"Access-based<\/p>\n

And for a user from another department, e. g., IT department (which is included in another Windows security group), a different list of subfolders is shown. In addition to the Public and Warehouse directories, this user sees 5 more directories in the same network folder.<\/p>\n

Access-Based Enumeration Restrictions. Access-based Enumeration on Windows doesn\u2019t work in the following cases:<\/strong><\/p>\n

  2. Viewing from local server<\/li>\n
  3. Administrators group with full access<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Enabling ABE on Windows Server 2008\/ 2008 R2<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Windows Server 2008\/R2 to enable the Access Based Enumeration option no additional components need to be installed, The ABE management feature is already built into the Windows GUI. To activate Access-based Enumeration for a specific folder in Windows Server 2008\/2008 R2, go to the MMC management console\u00a0Share and Storage Management<\/strong>\u00a0(Start \u2013> Programs \u2013> Administrative Tools -> Share and Storage Management).

    Enable the option Activate Access-based Enumeration on Windows Server 2012 R2\/ 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

    ABE configuration in the Windows Server 2012 R2 \/ 2016 is also very easy. To activate ABE in Windows Server 2012, we have to install\u00a0File and Storage Services role<\/strong>, after installation go to the share properties in the Server Manager.<\/p>\n

    \"File<\/p>\n

    HandlingAccess Based Enumeration Using PowerShell<\/strong><\/p>\n

    We can use the SMBShare PowerShell module in Windows<\/strong><\/a> 10\/ 8.1 and Windows Server 2016\/2012 R2 to handle the settings of Access Based Enumeration for required folders. Let us list the details of a specific shared folder:<\/p>\n

    Get-SmbShareInstall|fl *<\/p>\n

    \"HandlingAccess<\/p>\n

    The value of the\u00a0FolderEnumerationMode<\/strong>\u00a0attribute. In this case, its showing the value is\u00a0Unrestricted<\/strong>. Which means that ABE is disabled for this folder. Also we can check the status of ABE for all shared folders of the server:<\/p>\n

    Get-SmbShare | Select-Object Name,FolderEnumerationMode<\/p>\n

    To activate ABE for a specific folder:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Get-SmbShare Install | Set-SmbShare -FolderEnumerationModeAccessBased<\/p>\n

    \"To<\/p>\n

    You can activate Access Based Enumeration for all published network folders.<\/p>\n
