  1. Feedback says:

    I think this question misses one line with the actual requirement or question in it.
    Two cmdlets are asked and three are marked as an answer. (?)
    A and C seem to make the most sense to me.
    New-DfsnFolderTarget: adds a target to a DFS namespace folder.
    Grant-DfsnAccess: grants permissions to users and groups to access a DFS namespace folder.

    Folder1 needs to be added to the DFS namespace and permissions need to be set. This makes the most sense.

    First, we have to recognize that the Folder1 on Server1 is NOT shared at all. Because of that, to make it usable for DFS it should be shared some way. There is a way:
    E. New-SmbShare
    Second, I assume that the folder should be added to DFS namespace as a target but NOT replication member. If yes, then:
    – no need to install DFS feature as no need to participate in replication,
    – A. New-DfsnFolderTarget as new share should be added to target list with DEFAULT permissions (no need to mess with permissions)

      Chris is right
      New-DfsnFolderTarget -Path “\\Contoso\AccountingResources\LegacySoftware” -TargetPath “\\Contoso-FS\Software” -ReferralPriorityClass GlobalLow –>https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/dfsn/new-dfsnfoldertarget?view=win10-ps

      New-SmbShare is for normal SMB shares not DFS.–>https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/smbshare/new-smbshare?view=win10-ps

    The New-DfsnFolderTarget cmdlet adds a target to a Distributed File System (DFS) namespace folder.
    Specify the DFS namespace folder and the folder target.

    The New-DfsnFolder cmdlet creates a folder in a Distributed File System (DFS) namespace.
    Specify the path and a path for a folder target for the new folder.

    1. New-SmbShare for Folder1 on Server1
    A folder target is the UNC path of a shared folder or another namespace that is associated with a folder in a namespace

    2. Priorita 1 – create dfs folder and mapping to Folder1 on Server1
    New-DfsnFolder

    but question is confusing.

    nothing about create mapping folder in DFS) namespace named \\\\contoso.com\\namespace1. New-DfsnFolder

    or folder in DFS namespace named \\\\contoso.com\\namespace1
    created. New-DfsnFolderTarget

    what for my answer D and E

    Chris and HK are right and the links they provide show this. Why are people wanting to add a new SMB share for DFS? This doesn’t make sense. Create the DFS folder target. Grant the required access.

    Guys I think most of you have missed some key points with this question.

    1 – The domain contains a file server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2016.

    It does not say this is the server has the DFS management tools on it that also include the powershell module, therefore ALL DFS commands will not work

    “new-dfsnfolder : The term ‘new-dfsnfolder’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or
    operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try
    again.”

    2 – You create a folder named Folder1 on Server1.

    It does not say the folder is shared, just created therefore at this point it is just a folder nothing else

    So we have a Server that doesnt have DFS tools on it nor any shares.

    So to make create a DFS Share we will need to

    1 – Share the Folder
    E. New-SmbShare

    2 – Install the tools so we can create a DFS Folder to share them on
    B. Install-WindowsFeature

    3 – Create a Namespace Folder
    D. New-DfsnFolder

    4 – Then you need to add a folder target to this Folder
    A. New-DfsnFolderTarget

    So I would say the first two steps are E and B

      Update I got tricked too and missed one key step.

      1 – Install the tools so we can create a DFS Folder to share them on
      B. Install-WindowsFeature

      2 – Gain control of the possibly “orphaned” namespace
      C – Grant-DFSNAccess

      3 – Share the Folder
      E. New-SmbShare

      4 – Create a Namespace Folder
      D. New-DfsnFolder

      5 – Then you need to add a folder target to this Folder
      A. New-DfsnFolderTarget

      Therefore it would be B and C

    This is really simple and can be done in a LAB in less than 5 minutes.

    You will then see that in order to create a folder target you first need to share the specific folder. Permissions don’t matter in this case, they will be inherited from the local file system.

    New-SMBShare -Path C:\folder1 -Name folder1
    Add-DfsnFolderTarget -Path \\contoso.com\\namespace1\folder1 -TargetPath \\server1\folder1
