7.4.DFS Management Snap-in

The DFS Management snap-in is the graphical user interface tool for managing DFS Namespaces and DFS Replication. This snap-in is new and differs from the Distributed File System snap-in in Windows Server 2003. Therefore, before you begin using DFS Namespaces and DFS Replication, you might want to review the components of this snap-in, which are shown in the following figure and described in the sections that follow.

Console Tree

The console tree has two nodes, Namespaces and Replication, from which you can manage namespaces and DFS Replication.

Namespaces node

The following figure shows the elements under the Namespaces node in the console tree.

As the figure shows, the Namespaces node contains the namespaces you create as well as any existing namespaces you add to the console display. In the previous figure, one namespace is shown, \\Contoso.com\Public. Under each namespace is a hierarchical view of folders. Folders that have targets use a special icon to differentiate them from folders that do not have targets.
