Configures an
existing
DFS tree.

Syntax

dfscmd options

Options

/add \\dfsname\dfsshare\path \\server\share\path [/restore]

Adds a replica to a DFS volume. With /restore,
don't check the destination server.

/map \\dfsname\dfsshare\path \\server\share\path [comment] [/restore]

Creates a new DFS volume by mapping a DFS path to a shared folder.
The /restore option causes no check to be
performed to see if the destination server is available.

/remove \\dfsname\dfsshare\path \\server\share\path

Removes a replica from a DFS volume.

/unmap \\dfsname\dfsshare\path

Deletes a DFS volume and removes all its replicas.

/view \\dfsname\dfsshare [/partial | /full | /batch || / batchrestore]

Views the volumes in the specified DFS tree. If no arguments are
specified, only volume names are displayed. The
/partial option displays the comments as well, and
the /full option lists the full details of the
tree. The /batch option is used to output the DFS
tree configuration to a file, which allows the DFS tree to be
re-created using the /batchrestore option if
necessary.

folder

Notes

• The dfscmd command can manage existing DFS trees
  (both domain-based and standalone) but can't be used
  to create a new DFS tree. You must use the Distributed File System
  console to create a new DFS tree by creating a new DFS root (see
  

  DFS in Chapter 4 for more information).

• Paths that have embedded spaces must be enclosed in quotes.
