To install DFS Namespaces, you work with several additional configuration pages:. On the Create A DFS Namespace page, set the root name for the first namespace or elect to create a namespace later, as shown in the following screen.

On the Select Namespace Type page, specify whether you want to create a domain-based namespace or a stand-alone namespace, as shown in the following screen. Domain-based namespaces can be replicated with multiple namespace servers to provide high availability, but they can have only up to 5, DFS folders.

Stand-alone namespaces can have up to 50, DFS folders, but they are replicated only when you use failover server clusters and configure replication. If you are creating a domain-based namespace, on the Provide Credentials To Create A Namespace page, click Select, and then specify the user name and password for an account that is a member of the Domain Admins groups. This account is used to create the namespace.

On the Configure Namespace page, you can add shared folders to the namespace as well as namespaces that are associated with a DFS folder, as shown in the following screen. Click Add. Type a name for the folder to add, and then click OK. Next, type a name for the folder in the namespace. This name can be the same as the original folder name or a new name that will be associated with the original folder in the namespace. After you type a name, click OK to add the folder and complete the process.

When you select a volume and then click Options, you can set the volume usage threshold and choose the reports to generate when the volume reaches the threshold value. By default, the usage threshold is 85 percent. Thanks a lot. That fixed my issue. How can i mark your comment as an answer to my question? Add a comment.
