Learning new Feature #2 of Window 2003 Server

Distribute File System or DFS, its a system for replicating sharing files between server or between folder.
Heres the concept is a temp folder for sharing copy between folder01 , confuse huh ?
Let me show how then you will understand ( probably ), here we are ...
- Choose Distribute File System from Administrator Tools button and Next
- Create New Domain DFS Root and choose your domain
- Create New DFS Root, and Next ( but b4 that share some folder , sample C:\DFSRoot, if you have 2 server, create both with the same name )
This one is for temp folder, cannot be open to see what inside and create by system
- And your done...but keep reading

- Now you must create a Link DFS, right click on domain DFS, and choose New Link
- Insert Link Name [ART], and Path to Target [//SRV01/folder01]
Comment
, Time Value are optional
- If you have two servers host identical information then
Add New Target, Path to Target [//SRV02/folder01]
- And Last thing enabling replication by running Configuration Replication
Choose Master Target
[//SRV01/folder01] next ...
Topology
[Optional but i choose Ring] and Finish

Now how to use it just run CMD and type net use R: \\Domain.com\ART and dir R:
if there ain't error
You just create your first DFS Root and Link...well done [ i'm just enjoying my self and dont bother me now ]
Please create a comment and have fun...
