I have so say, your production quality is far better than most of the IT How To Videos on KZbin. Not sure why its so hard to just use a decent microphone and render videos in at least 1080p resolution.

Thank you for the video! I do have a question tho. I think I missed a step. When you created the shares namespace on your host server. How were the linked namespace folders created on your pc file explorer? Was this step in an earlier video ?

I already had an existing file share setup and this guide just puts it behind a DFS Namespace. You can see how I setup the original file share here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZ6Qm3iVaapqj5I Thanks for watching!

Thanks for a great video. Informative, easy to follow but can you explain to me why in almost every single case, DFS has to point at an already existing share to function. For example you didn't create a new folder to share in E:\DFSRoot\dfs\HR but you pointed at something else already existing in the E:\Shares folder. Is creating something entirely new not possibility as I really have a lot of difficulty with letting DFS itself create my shares from scratch. Maybe I'm literally doing it wrong or not entirely understanding the use of DFS.

DFS Namespaces (DFS-N) don't store data. They just point to existing file shares. Think of a Namespace as a list of shortcuts to file shares. The reason to use a Namespace is so you can have one mapped drive which then links to all of the file shares. If you ever need to add new shares, or amend existing ones, you can just update the Namespace. Once you have a Namespace, you can also enable things like DFS Replication (DFS-R), which can be used to automatically replicate files between two or more file servers so that if one goes down, the other one can take over avoiding downtime. Thanks for watching!

When you edited the GPO policy to access the new DFS links, did you create that on the machine account so that the links are mapped to any user who logs into that machine? Or is the GPO policy for a specific user group?
@danny_moran4 ай бұрын
They are user based. The user will get the drive map when logging into any machine. Thanks for watching!

Ok cool, what if you have 5 mapped drives in GPO with different letters and you would like to introduce all 5 mapped drives as DFS shortcuts. Can you label all the same name and 1 letter for each ie z in GPO?
@danny_moran3 ай бұрын
I would add all of the share locations under one DFS Namespace, this will enable you to have one mapped drive which points to all of the shared folders. Thanks for watching!

If you were to select Stand Alone DFS, would that allow you to share the DFS links among multiple DFS servers? Or must I use the Domain Based DFS in order to share the DFS links?

I've not tried standalone DFS, unfortunately. Thanks for watching!

The original share names e.g. Accounts and after you created a folder as Accounts too. If the name of folder is different from shares name is their any impact?
@danny_moran3 ай бұрын
No, the link names can be different from the share names. I try and keep them the same as it's easier to manage this way. Thanks for watching!
