Can DFS map root from many share links?
I might not even ask my question with the right terminologies.
Let me illustrate:

I have a W2K server (called W2K-ControllerA) as a controller that has
a share called SHARE-A and:
\\W2K-ControllerA\SHARE-A that has the following directories in it:
SHARE-A-DIR1\
SHARE-A-DIR2\
SHARE-A-DIR3\

I have a W2K server (called W2K-ServerB) as a member server that has a
share called SHARE-B and:
\\W2K-ServerB\SHARE-B that has the following directories:
SHARE-B-DIR4\
SHARE-B-DIR5\
SHARE-B-DIR6\

With DFS on the controller, can I make a DFS root (with DFS link
pointing to \\W2K-ServerB\SHARE-B) for user to map to so that this DFS
share contains the following folders?

SHARE-A-DIR1\
SHARE-A-DIR2\
SHARE-A-DIR3\
SHARE-B-DIR4\
SHARE-B-DIR5\
SHARE-B-DIR6\

It seems like all I can do is:
SHARE-A-DIR1\
SHARE-A-DIR2\
SHARE-A-DIR3\
SHARE-B\

Where SHARE-B\ has these folders:
SHARE-B-DIR4\
SHARE-B-DIR5\
SHARE-B-DIR6\

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
DC

When you create a DFS link, that link becomes a child of the
root directory. If you want dir-4, dir-5 and dir-6 to be on the
same level as dir-1, dir-2 and dir-3, you will need to share dir-4,
dir-5 and dir-6 and link them individually to the DFS root.

I don't get what you said, Ann. Can you repeat?

It is the users who will create the directories - dir-4, dir-5, dir-6,
dir-7,....dir999 and so on. That means I have to sit there and watch
the creation of these directories and add them to the DFS share one by
one?

Any solution other than that?
