    - DFS allows combining shared folders from multiple file servers under a single namespace. It provides both namespace redundancy, where the namespace is available even if some servers are offline, and content redundancy through replication of folder targets. - DFS is best used for serving static content rather than documents being actively edited by multiple users. It integrates with Active Directory for a highly available and fault tolerant namespace configuration. - The DFS namespace simply creates a UNC path combining multiple folder targets, while DFS replication synchronizes the folder targets themselves, such as files in a "Users" folder on two servers, to provide content redundancy.

    DFS
    =================
    # Overview of DFS
    ** File Server Topology redundancy and content redundancy.
    ~ Namespace
    .. The grouping of shares from many physical locations under one logical locatio
    n
    ..A DFS namespace is basically a place where you will have links to all your fil
    e shares... we cant access the content from the links.. they are only referrals.
    .. How does it work? it exists as links to the shares in the "DFSRoots" folder o
    n ALL servers that hosts the namespace.
    ~ Namespace TOPOLOGY Redundancy
    .. Namespace can be available but content not available.
    ~ Content REDUNDANCY

    # When should we use DFS?


    - Mainly static content.. not for when multiple users are constantly changing th
    e same files

    # DFS Bad practices


    ~ storing contents in the root folder
    ~ renaming servers

    - DFS is taking multiple shared folders from different file servers and mapping
    them under a single name (or namespace). It also has an advantage of replication
    # In what situation will it be best to use DFS?
    - May not be good for multiple user document but for single user document depend
    ing on your replication schedule.
    # How DFS works
    - There are 2 components: Namespace and Folder Targets
    - DFS is also site aware.
    # Stand-Alone vs Active Directory Integrated.
    - The main advantage of the domain-based namespaces is that your configuration w
    ill be stored in Active Directory and you won t have to rely on a single server to
    provide the namespace information to your clients.
    - Highly available and fault tolerant (uses AD replication engine to replicate n
    amespace information)
    - DFS configuration gets replicated in Active Directory.
    *** AD integrated allows for Windows 2008 Mode..
    ~ Min Domain level of W2k3
    ~ Min Forest Functional Level of W2k8
    ~ Namespace servers has to be a minimum of Win2k8.
    ~ Allows for Access Based Enumeration and Folder targets up to 50,000
    *** Stand-alone mode
    ~ AD not available
    ~ W2k8 mode not available

    # DFS Namespace
    - Simply, this is creating a UNC path that will combine multiple folder targets.
    . do the targets need to be shared folder?
    # DFS Replication
    - Replication is for synchronizing folder TARGETS not servers but folder targets
    e.g \\server1\users and \\server2\users
    - How does it work? By creating a replication group which is a manager that keep
    s folder targets synchronized... the GREEN arrow means that there's a replicatio
    n group associated with it.
    - Uses RDC
