A. Follow the instructions below, you must have first downloaded and expanded the file dfs-v40-i386.exe:
- Right click on Network Neighborhood and select properties (or double click Network in the Control Panel)
- Click the services tab and click Add
- Click the "Have disk" button and when asked where enter %systemroot%/system32/dfs. Do not actually type %systemroot%, but rather what it points to, i.e. d:\winnt, so the full path would be d:\winnt\system32\dfs
- Click Enter and press OK for Dfs installation
- A dialog box will be shown, and click "New Share", and type the name of the required root, e.g. c:\dfsroot and click "Yes" to create the directory
- Select the "Shared As" and fill in required information and click OK
- Close the dialogs and reboot the machine
Windows 2000 does not require you to install Dfs, it is built into the operating system, all it requires is configuration.
