AddNamespaceRootTarget method of the MSFT_DfsNamespaceRootTarget class

Adds a new target for a DFS namespace (DFS-N) root.

Syntax

uint32 AddNamespaceRootTarget(
  [in]  string                      NamespaceRoot,
  [in]  string                      RootTargetPath,
  [in]  uint32                      State,
  [in]  uint32                      ReferralPriorityRank,
  [in]  sint32                      ReferralPriorityClass,
  [out] MSFT_DfsNamespaceRootTarget cmdletOutput
);

Parameters

NamespaceRoot [in]

The Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path of the DFS-N root for which to create a new target. The UNC path can be in one of these two formats:

Server Format	Domain Format
\\ServerName\DFSName	\\DomainName\DFSName

where:

• The ServerName component represents the host name of a DFS root target of a namespace.
• The DomainName component represents the domain name of the domain that hosts the domain-based namespace.
• The DFSName component represents the DFS-N name.

A stand-alone namespace must have a root with the format shown in the first column, as it must contain a server name. A domain-based namespace can have a root with the format from either column, although the second column's format (which contains a domain name instead of a server name) is the preferred format.

RootTargetPath [in]

The UNC path of a DFS-N root to be set as the new target for the DFS-N root.

The DFS-N root target has a format of \\ServerName\ShareName, where the ServerName component is the host name of a DFS-N root target server, and the ShareName component is the share name corresponding to a namespace on the DFS-N root target server.

State [in]

The state of the target of a DFS-N root.
