Next, you add two folders with targets to the namespace. You create one folder named Tools within the Software folder, and you create another folder named Training Guides directly under the root named Public.

To create a folder named Tools in the namespace:

1.In the console tree of the DFS Management snap-in, right-click the Software folder, and then click New Folder.

2.In Name, type Tools.

3.Click Add to add a folder target.

4.Click Browse to open the Browse for Shared Folders dialog box.

5.In Server, enter the name of the server that will host the Tools shared folder.

6.Click New Shared Folder.

7.In the Create Share dialog box, in the Share name box, type Tools, and then enter the local path where you want the shared folder to be created. If the folder does not exist, you are prompted to create it. Click OK to close all dialog boxes.

After you finish this procedure, the Tools folder is added to the console tree as shown in the following figure. (You might need to double-click the Software folder to display the Tools folder.) Notice the icon next to the Tools folder and how it differs from the Software folder’s icon. This icon appears next to all folders that have targets to differentiate them from folders that do not have targets.

Now, select the Tools folder and review the contents of the Folder Targets tab in the details pane. Notice there is a single path shown. This means that only one server hosts the folder target that corresponds to the Tools folder. If that server becomes unavailable, the shared folder is also unavailable.

To increase the availability of the Tools folder, you can add a second folder target.

To add a second folder target to the Tools folder:

1.In the console tree of the DFS Management snap-in, right-click the Tools folder, and then click Add Folder Target.

2.Click Browse to open the Browse for Shared Folders dialog box.

3.In Server, enter the name of another server that will host the Tools shared folder. Be sure to enter a different server from the one you specified in the previous procedure.
