Not sure if this can be done, and I'm not exactly sure how to explain what I want to do in words, but what the heck.
I have a DFS structure in place on our data servers. We have a scratch directory that is actually a subdirectory of one of the DFS directories. Is it possible to easily move the subdirectory using DFS?
i.e.
There is a DFS link to: \\Server1\share\Engineering
I want to create an additional DFS link to: \\Server1\share\Engineering\Scratch so that I can move the scratch directory to a different server.
Hopefully that is understandable. When I attempt to add the scratch directory in DFS I get an error saying name is in use, but I don't see it anywhere in the DFS other than the link to Engineering. I'm beginning to wonder if I would have to delete the current DFS link to Engineering and do DFS links to every subdirectory under Engineering.
Suggestions?
