7.5.10. Test Failover

In this task, disable the network card or turn off the server that hosts one of the root targets for the \\domain\Public namespace. Do the same for a server that hosts one of the folder targets for the Tools folder. After the network cards are disabled or the servers are turned off, repeat the procedures in "Task 9: Browse the Namespace." The procedures should work because another server continues to host the \\domain\Public namespace and the Tools folder.
