Notes

If you are not familiar with namespace terminology, see the section "DFS Namespaces" earlier section.

Replication node

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

As the figure shows, the Replication node contains the replication groups you create as well as any existing replication groups that you add to the console display. A replication group represents a group of servers that participates in the replication of data. For more information about replication groups, see "DFS Replication" section later in this chapter.

Details Pane

The contents of the details pane change according to what you have selected in the console tree. For example, if you select a namespace in the console tree, you see tabs named Namespace, Namespace Servers, and Delegation in the details pane. If you select a replication group, you see tabs named Memberships, Connections, Replicated Folders, and Delegation. You can double-click objects in the details pane to view their properties.

Action Pane

The Action pane shows two types of tasks: common tasks and tasks that apply to the selected object. If the Action pane is not visible, you can open it using the following steps: click the View menu, click Customize, and then click the Action pane option in the Customize View dialog box.

Each DFS namespace requires a root. A DFS root is a starting point of the DFS namespace. The root is often used to refer to the namespace as a whole. A root maps to one or more root targets, each of which corresponds to a shared folder on a server. A root is implemented as a shared folder on the DFS server.
