Does a DFS Namespace Server need the Role "DFS Namespace" installed ?


hi

it's not joke, it's serious question.

we got domain domain controllers on windows 2008r2 , 2012r2.  dfs namespaces role ist installed, configured , functioning on 2012r2 servers. don't use dfs replication.

recently, added 2 2008r2 domain controllers additional namespace servers. got no error, though role "dfs namespaces" ist not installed on these servers.

so question is, role not necessary on namepace server or 2 2008r2 server not acting namespace servers?

thanks answers,

juerg

hi juerg,

as far know, once you've installed dfs namespaces, dfs replication, or both, can use dfs management console manage related features. need dfs-namespace installed on namespace server or of them. need dfs-r installed on replication group member servers.

best regards,

mary
