Issue/Introduction
If an endpoint agent is installed on a Windows server that hosts a network file share, Can a endpoint agent block a file with matching data being written to its network file share?
Resolution
There are 3 possible scenarios in this situation:
1. If System A itself is copying the confidential data to its Network drive then ideally it should be blocked.
2. If System B is trying to copy confidential data on the Network drive that resides in System A and the agent is not installed on System B then the data should not be blocked.
3. If System B is trying to copy confidential data on the Network drive that resides in System A and the agent is installed on System B then the data should be blocked.
Note:Let us consider System A as Windows server machine that hosts a network file share on which the endpoint agent is installed.And System B is an other machine.
