1. Targets in the same site as the client are listed in random order at
the top of the referral.
2. Targets outside of the client’s site are listed in order of lowest cost to
highest cost. Referrals with the same cost are grouped together and
within each group the targets are listed in random order.
This method ensures that clients do not traverse expensive wide area
network (WAN) links to access targets when lower-cost targets are available.
This ordering method works in both stand-alone and domain-based
namespaces, as long as all namespace servers and all domain controllers
are running Windows Server 2003.
Notes
If you do not want clients to access folder targets outside of their site, you can
override the ordering method for individual folders. To do this, right-click a folder
with targets in the console tree, click Properties, click the Referrals tab, and then
click Exclude targets outside of the client’s site. Note that if no same-site targets
are available, the client fails to access the folder because no folder targets are
returned in the referral.
In the next procedure, you change the priority of one of the folder targets of
the Tools folder.
To change the priority of a folder target:
1. In the console tree of the DFS Management snap-in, click the Tools
folder.
2. In the details pane, on the Folder Targets tab, right-click one of the
folder targets, and then click Properties.
3. On the Advanced tab, click Override referral ordering, and then click
Last among all targets.
7.5.6. Rename and Move a Folder
You can use the DFS Management snap-in to rename folders or move
folders to another location in the namespace. This is useful if you need to
change a folder name or restructure the namespace.
In this task, you rename the Training Guides folder to Training Demos and
move it to the Software folder. Currently, your namespace should look
similar to the following figure.
