I'm experimenting with DFS Namespaces, and I have a setup where I'm using the following mapping: \\servernamespacefolder1 => \\hostfolder1. However, I'm wondering if it's possible to set it up in such a way that I can directly map \\serverfolder1 => \\hostfolder1 instead. Is this feasible?

It's definitely not possible to skip the namespace part when you're using DFS Namespaces. You need to use the full namespace path. Ideally, you should format your links like this: \\domainnamespacefolder1. This keeps everything organized and functional.
Using \\ad.domain.com instead of \\server might provide better consistency, especially in larger networks. Both point to the same machine since they resolve to the same IP, but it could make things easier to manage in the long run. Just a thought!
Actually, you should always include the namespace portion. For example, in my lab setup, it looks like \\labnet.localISOstuff. It helps maintain clarity when navigating your folder structures.
