Preparing Shared Folders

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

The next step in deploying your managed environment is to create a DFS root share to provide virtual views of the file shares. DFS is deployed to create scalable and flexible software distribution points. Next, you will prepare shared folders that will contain application software and user data (roaming user profiles and redirected folders). These steps are illustrated in Figure 9.6.
