Adding A Dfs Shared Folder - Linksys NSS4000 Series Administrator's Manual

Adding a DFS Shared Folder

Microsoft DFS lets users within your network easily access data stored on multiple remote computers.
Through DFS, your users can view and access folders as a single set of shares through a familiar,
unified folder hierarchy, even when those resources reside on different servers. The NSS can act as
a root or leaf. Whichever way you establish the link between the NSS and the DFS, you will have
created a transparent link between the NSS and the DFS folders located on remote servers. When
you create a DFS folder from a share, note that the user must have privileges set up to access the NSS
share. After the user accesses the DFS folder through the NSS share, the user's access rights to the
DFS folder are those assigned for the specific DFS folder.
To add a DFS root directory to a share on the NSS:
1. From the Manager Menu, click Share
The File Shares page appears.
2. Click Edit for the share to which you want to add a folder.
The Edit Share page appears.
3. Click Add Shared Folder.
