There's still time to participate in the Data Classification Toolkit for Windows Server 8 Beta review!

  • Article

The Data Classification Toolkit for Windows Server 8 Beta (DCT) review period will soon close, but there is still time to participate. Thanks to all of you who have already downloaded the beta release and provided us with your feedback. Your input helps us to improve the quality of the final DCT release. The DCT is designed to help you benefit from features in both Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. The new user interface in the DCT lets you quickly deploy file classification rules and manage central access policy and claim values on the file servers in your environment. Here are two screenshots of the new Classification Wizard and Claims Wizard showing the actions that you can perform:

Each wizard is designed to guide you through the steps to perform the action that you select. If you prefer, you can run the Windows PowerShell cmdlets that support these actions in the DCT using either the Microsoft Data Classification Toolkit Console or a Windows PowerShell command-line shell. The toolkit makes it easy to automate the file classification process, improve file management efficiency, and simplify central access policy configuration on your file servers.
