Using DFS

DFS creates a logical, hierarchical view of file shares that exist on servers distributed in one or more Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003 domains. DFS can help you manage file resources on distributed enterprise networks, and it enables users to locate files across the network without needing to know the physical server on which the data is stored.

Two methods are available to deploy DFS—stand-alone or integrated—into the domain.

Stand-alone DFS does not require Active Directory (AD), and does not have the full functionality of DFS. It is mostly intended for backwards compatibility and support for networks without AD. Domain-integrated DFS takes full advantage of all the intended functionality by utilizing AD. Some of the functionality domain- integrated DFS offers is load-balancing, fault-tolerance, and Kerberos-based security.

NOTE: Only one DFS root is allowed on the Standard Edition of the Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003 operating systems.

Creating a Standalone DFS Root

1.Use the Windows operating system to create a directory on the NAS system.

This directory will become the DFS root

2.Right click the directory you created and select Sharing and Security.

3.Click Share this folder. and then click OK.

4.Access the DFS utility.

a.In the NAS Manager, click Maintenance.

b.Click Remote Desktop, and then log in to the NAS system as an administrator.
