How to define a file group in windows file server resource manager with multiple file extensions.

Option 1: Create File Group Name Manually with Windows GUI

1. Go to FSRM File Screening Management.
2. Select File Group.
3. Create a file group with a name and included extensions (e.g., name: 'malware files', include file types: '"*.2xx9", "*.73i87A",).

   In this case, adding each bulk file is very difficult.

   Option 2: Create File Group Name and Add Multiple Extensions with Windows PowerShell

   Using PowerShell

   1. Run the following command to create the file group:

      powershell

       

      New-FsrmFileGroup -Name "malware files" -IncludePattern @("*.2xx9", "*.73i87A")

      If this doesn't work, follow the steps below:

      Step-by-Step Guide

      Step 1: Create the File Group Name Manually Using GUI

      • Refer to Option 1 for creating the file group named "malware files".

        Step 2: Define the File Group Name

         

        powershell

         

        $fileGroupName = "malware files"

         

        Step 3: Define the New File Extensions and Patterns

         

        powershell

         

        $newFilePatterns = @( "*.2xx9", "*.73i87A", "*.911", "*.a", "*.aaa", "*.abc", "*.AES256", "*.asasin", "*.avos", "*.bat", "*.better_call_saul", "*.bloc", "*.boost", "*.btc" )

         

        Step 4: Get the Existing File Group

         

        powershell

         

        $fileGroup = Get-FsrmFileGroup -Name $fileGroupName

         

        Step 5: Combine the Existing Patterns with the New Patterns

         

        powershell

         

        $combinedPatterns = $fileGroup.Patterns + $newFilePatterns

         

        Step 6: Remove Duplicate Patterns

         

        powershell

         

        $combinedPatterns = $combinedPatterns | Select-Object -Unique

         

        Step 7: Update the File Group with the Combined Patterns

         

        powershell

         

        Set-FsrmFileGroup -Name $fileGroupName -Include $combinedPatterns

        That's all!
