Asked By TechieGal92 On

I'm experimenting with DFS Namespaces and I'm aiming to set up my links at the top level instead of a second level namespace. Currently, I have this setup: \\servernamespacefolder1 pointing to \\hostfolder1. My question is, can I configure it like this: \\serverfolder1 pointing to \\hostfolder1?

For sure, it works like this: \\yourdomain\namespace\folder1. Always link using the namespace, not the server directly!

Actually, while you need the namespace for proper linking, you might want to consider using \\ad.domain.com instead of \\server. Both might resolve to the same IP, but using the FQDN can help with clarity and is a best practice.

You can’t do that because you need to include the namespace portion in your paths. It’s best to use \\domain\ instead of just the \\server\ for better management. Set it up like \\yourdomain\namespace\folder1.
