1.Targets in the same site as the client are listed in random order at the top of the referral.

2.Targets outside of the client’s site are listed in order of lowest cost to highest cost. Referrals with the same cost are grouped together and within each group the targets are listed in random order.

This method ensures that clients do not traverse expensive wide area network (WAN) links to access targets when lower-cost targets are available. This ordering method works in both stand-alone and domain-based namespaces, as long as all namespace servers and all domain controllers are running Windows Server 2003.

Notes

If you do not want clients to access folder targets outside of their site, you can override the ordering method for individual folders. To do this, right-click a folder with targets in the console tree, click Properties, click the Referrals tab, and then click Exclude targets outside of the client’s site. Note that if no same-site targets are available, the client fails to access the folder because no folder targets are returned in the referral.

In the next procedure, you change the priority of one of the folder targets of the Tools folder.

To change the priority of a folder target:

1.In the console tree of the DFS Management snap-in, click the Tools folder.

2.In the details pane, on the Folder Targets tab, right-click one of the folder targets, and then click Properties.

3.On the Advanced tab, click Override referral ordering, and then click Last among all targets.

7.5.6.Rename and Move a Folder

You can use the DFS Management snap-in to rename folders or move folders to another location in the namespace. This is useful if you need to change a folder name or restructure the namespace.

In this task, you rename the Training Guides folder to Training Demos and move it to the Software folder. Currently, your namespace should look similar to the following figure.
