Document Summary
Organizes multiple smb shares into a distributed file system. Folders can be on different servers , but are transparent to the user. Redundancy can be used to improve availability while minimizing the traffic over the. Dfs requires a file server, and is a file service/role to create file shares. Dfs namespaces - enable you to group shared folders into a single logical structure. ie. a shared folder of shared folders(which can be on multiple servers). Dfs replication - enables you to replicate folders between multiple servers. Domain-based namespace: configuration is stored in active directory. Stand alone : config is stored on the server and the server name becomes the main path to the namespace. Server 2008 support up to 50,000 folders by default. server 2000 supports 5,000 folders. Referral is an ordered list of servers or targets that a client computer receives from a domain controller or namespace server when the user accesses a namespace root or a.
