Re: How to get the type of DFS root server ? |

From the DFS technical reference.
Stand-Alone DFS Metadata in the Registry
The stand-alone DFS metadata contains information about the root, root
target, links, link targets, and settings defined for each stand-alone
namespace. This metadata is maintained in the registry of the root server at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfs\Roots\Standalone.
Note
a.. Domain-based root servers have a registry entry for each root under
KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfs\Roots\Domain, but these entries do
not contain the domain-based DFS metadata. When the DFS service starts on a
root server, the service checks this path for registry entries that
correspond to domain-based roots. If these entries exist, the root server
polls the PDC emulator master to obtain the DFS metadata for each
domain-based namespace and stores the metadata in memory.
Based on this info, you only need to perform a registry query for the
presence of roots\domain or roots\standalone to get your question answered.

How to get the type of DFS root server i.e. standalone or domain
based.
There are the bit flags in DFS_INFO status field which can be used to
know the type of DFS server it is. But these flags are only available
on Windows .NET Server 2003 family.
How the above information can be retrieved on Windows 2000 and NT DFS
servers ?
Thanks In Advance
