Re: DFS Compatibility between NT and Win2K

Hi,
NT4 servers cannot host domain based DFS root, but can host
standalone DFS roots. The W2K link targets can point to the DFS namespace
on NT4. Depending on the service pack you have installed on NT4, you
might need DS client to be installed on NT4 to access domain based
DFS roots hosted on W2K.
