Microsoft DFS lets users within your network easily access data stored on multiple
remote computers. Through DFS, your users can view and access shares through
a familiar, unified folder hierarchy, even when those resources are located on
different servers. The NSS can act as a DFS root or leaf. When acting as a root, the
share on the NSS contains subfolders that link to the various shares on remote
systems, referred to as "DFS shared folders." When you create a DFS shared folder
from a share, note that the user must have privileges set up to access that share on
the remote system. After the user accesses the DFS shared folder through the
NSS DFS root share, the user's rights to the DFS shared folder are those assigned
to the corresponding target share on the remote system.
To add a DFS root directory to a share on the NSS:
From the Manager Menu, click Shares Shares.
