7.6.3.Share and Publish Replicated Folders in a Namespace

When you created replicated folders in the previous tasks, you specified the local path of a folder on each member of the replication group. Unless the local path on each server was previously shared, users cannot access the replicated folders after they are created. To make replicated folders available to users, you must share them and, optionally, publish them in an existing namespace.

In this task, you publish the LOB Data replicated folder in the \\server_or_domain\Public namespace that you created in the DFS Namespaces step-by-step section. If you did not complete the previous step- by-step section or do not have a namespace in your test lab, skip this procedure.

To share the LOB Data replicated folder and publish it in a namespace:

1.In the console tree of the DFS Management snap-in, under the Replication node, click the Data Distribution replication group.

2.In the details pane, click the Replicated Folders tab, right-click the LOB Data replicated folder, and then click Share and Publish in Namespace.

3.Follow the steps in the Share and Publish Replicated Folder Wizard and supply the information in the following fields.

oPublishing Method - Select Share and publish the replicated folder in a namespace.

oShare Replicated Folders - For each member that shows [Shared Folder Needed] in the Action column, select the member, and then click Edit to create the new shared folder and adjust shared folder permissions if necessary. If the Action column shows Create shared folder: LOB Data or Existing Shared Folder, you can click Next.

oNamespace Path - In Parent folder in namespace, type \\server_or_domain\Public\Software.

oReview Settings and Share Replicated Folder - Click Share to share the replicated folders and publish the LOB Data replicated folder in the namespace.

oConfirmation - Click Close to close the wizard.

After you finish the wizard, review the console tree and the Replicated Folders tab in the details pane. First, notice in the console tree that an LOB Data folder was added to the namespace and the folder icon indicates that the folder is replicated, as shown in the following figure.
