Help with referrals |
|
|
Hi All,
If im setting up a cascade DFS, with domain based links that refer back
to a Stand alone root.
The stand alone root has the links to the shared folders for that site.
I just need help understanding the referral process.
I assume it starts exactly as a domain based dfs referral would, see
the process below - I get stumped at the final point-
·A user attempts to access a shared folder by typing
\\domain\dfs\<site>\<shared folder> in the Run dialog box.
·The client computer sends a query to the active Domain Controller
(located in the Data Centre) to discover a list of root targets for the
domain-based namespace.
·The domain controller returns a list of root targets defined for the
requested namespace.
·The client selects the first root target in the referral and sends a
query to the root server for the requested link.
·Not sure what the domain root does - refer the request directly to
the standalone root, or return the client the link target for the SA
server??
What happens at this point???
Cheers
Anthony. |
