A. Once your Dfs root is created the next step is to populate with child nodes/leafs which actually link to information.
To add a new Dfs child node or Dfs link as its now called perform the following:
- Start the Distributed File System MMC snap-in (Start - Programs - Administrative Tools - Distributed File System)
- Right click on the root you wish to add a replica to and select ‘New Dfs Link’
- You will need to enter a location and name for the child node, a UNC for the destination and a comment. You can also select the amount of time clients cache the request.

Any subdirectories of the child leaf will also be published to the Dfs with the parent directory, for example if a share, ntfaq, was added as a child node to Dfs, any subdirectories of that share would be viewable on the Dfs tree as children of the documents Dfs entry.
