[Windows Server 2019][Set up a file server][Step by step Guide]

Hello Techies,

This tutorial aims at helping out to turn a Windows Server 2019 into a file server.
Firstly, I will create a share folder and secondly deploy the file server role.

Steps are as follows :

1. Start by creating a folder on the C drive or which ever location you like best

2. Right-click on the newly created folder and go to the Sharing tab

3. Click on Advanced Sharing

4. Check the box : Share this folder
5. Click on Permissions

6. If you want a group or a user to have a specific access to that folder, you can define it in the permissions box below. Click Add >> OK

7. The network path is created

8. On Server Manager, click on Add Roles and Features > Next

9. Click on Next

10. Click on Next

11. Select File and Storage Services > Next

12. Click on Next > Install

 13. On Server Manager, in the left-hand panel, File and Storage Services option will be added

14. Verify that the shared folder is listed

Thanks.
