technology and computing operating systemsHow do I install DFS Management console?
To install the DFS Namespaces service, on the Server Roles page, select DFS Namespaces. To install only the DFS Management Tools, on the Features page, expand Remote Server Administration Tools, Role Administration Tools, expand File Services Tools, and then select DFS Management Tools.
Similarly, how do I access DFS management console?
DFS can be managed through the DFS Management console included in the Windows Server 2008 R2 Administrative Tools program group and in the Server Manager console. DFS can also be managed in a command-line environment using the DFS command-line utilities.
Beside above, how does Microsoft DFS work?
The Distributed File System (DFS) functions provide the ability to logically group shares on multiple servers and to transparently link shares into a single hierarchical namespace. DFS organizes shared resources on a network in a treelike structure.
There are two types of DFS: DFS Namespace: a virtual tree aggregating shared folders from the entire network. Administrators can set up multiple DFS Namespaces. DFS Replication: creates replicated shared folder with scheduling and bandwidth throttling configured by the administrator.
