7.5.Deploying Namespace (Step-by-Step

Guide)

The tasks in this section walk you through the process of deploying a namespace that looks similar to the namespace shown in the figure that appears in "DFS Namespaces" earlier in this chapter.

7.5.1.Create a Namespace

To create a namespace:

1.In the console tree of the DFS Management snap-in, right-click the Namespaces node, and then click New Namespace.

2.Follow the steps in the New Namespace Wizard and supply the information described in the following:

oNamespace Server - Enter the name of the server to host the namespace. The server can be a domain controller or a member server.

oNamespace Name and Settings - In Name, type Public.

oNamespace Type - If Active Directory is deployed in your test lab and you are a member of the Domain Admins group or have been delegated permission to create domain-based namespaces, choose Domain-based namespace. Otherwise, choose Stand-alone namespace. To learn how a member of the Domain Admins group can delegate permission to create domain-based namespaces, see "Security requirements for creating and managing namespaces" in DFS Management Help.

oReview Settings and Create Namespace - Click Create to create the namespace.

oConfirmation - Click Close to close the wizard.

When the wizard finishes, your new namespace will be added to the console tree. Double-click the Namespaces node, if necessary, to view your namespace, which should be similar to the following figure.

To browse the new namespace, type the following command in the Run dialog box, substituting either the server name (if you created a stand-alone namespace) or the domain name (if you created a domain-based namespace) as appropriate:

\\server_or_domain\Public
