Notes
If you are not familiar with namespace terminology, see the section "DFS
Namespaces" earlier section.
Replication node
The following figure shows the elements under the Replication node in the
console tree.
As the figure shows, the Replication node contains the replication groups
you create as well as any existing replication groups that you add to the
console display. A replication group represents a group of servers that
participates in the replication of data. For more information about replication
groups, see "DFS Replication" section later in this chapter.
Details Pane
The contents of the details pane change according to what you have
selected in the console tree. For example, if you select a namespace in the
console tree, you see tabs named Namespace, Namespace Servers, and
Delegation in the details pane. If you select a replication group, you see tabs
named Memberships, Connections, Replicated Folders, and Delegation. You
can double-click objects in the details pane to view their properties.
Action Pane
The Action pane shows two types of tasks: common tasks and tasks that
apply to the selected object. If the Action pane is not visible, you can open it
using the following steps: click the View menu, click Customize, and then
click the Action pane option in the Customize View dialog box.
Each DFS namespace requires a root. A DFS root is a starting point of the
DFS namespace. The root is often used to refer to the namespace as a
whole. A root maps to one or more root targets, each of which corresponds
to a shared folder on a server. A root is implemented as a shared folder on
the DFS server.
