DFS and Network Shares

[steve simpson]

Hi all

I am running out of space on a File server Win2k box. I am
considering solving my problem by using disk space available on some
other box and using DFS to create a single resource.

The question can I map to a DFS resource like i would normally do?

I mean if I have SERVERA with a folder E:\MYFOLDER and I share this
folder as \\SERVERA\MYFOLDER and then via DFS I want to use space from
another server (folder D:\MYFOLDER on SERVERB) can I make so that the
joint space form the two folders can be mapped as \\SERVERA\MYFOLDER?

???

Also go to the KB, select Windows 2000, and enter "howto dfs" for more detailed information.
