You can add multiple folder targets to an existing DFS-N root.
To create a new DFS-N folder with Windows PowerShell, use the New-DFSNFolder cmdlet.
Here is an example:
New-DFSNFolder -Path \\TreyResearch.net\Public\Videos `
-TargetPath \\Trey-srv-12\Videos `
-Description "Corporate Training and Marketing Videos"
Changing the properties of a DFS-N
You can modify the properties of a DFS-N, including delegating management permission,
changing the cache duration and cost ordering, and setting polling optimization. These prop-
erties can be changed in the DFS Management console or by using the Windows PowerShell
DFSN module.
For example, you can change a DFS-N by enabling access-based enumeration. You can
do this in the DFS Management console by right-clicking the namespace, and choosing
Properties from the menu. Then select Enable Access-based Enumeration For This Namespace
on the Advanced tab and click OK.
