Map the drive to the Reports folder as R:. Open the November file and put your name in it. Save the file. The size should be 1 KB. Insert a screenshot into your lab report showing that the drive is R: and the size is 1 KB(# 5). TASK 3: Use Distributed File System
STEP 1: Add the Distributed File System Role
Back to Top
There is a major problem with the standard way of sharing files. For example, what if you need to move the share to another server? All the mapped drives would have to be changed. With DFS, shares just refer to the domain name. The administrator can put the folders anywhere in the domain.
Action
On the server, open Server Manager, expand Roles, and click File Services. In the right panel, scroll down until you see Add Role Services. Click it.
Select the check box next to Distributed File System. Notice that the other two boxes are selected too. Click Next.
For a namespace, type Management. This represents a group of common shares in the domain. Click Next.
We want the default domain-based namespace to give us the capability of easy administration. Click Next.
Click the Add button, click the Browse button, click the Show Shared Folders button, then click Reports. Click OK until you are back to the Configure Namespace window.
Click Next. Click Install and be patient. Click Close when done.
Log on to Windows 7 using the student user called experimental \ student. Map a drive to \\ experimental. lab \ Management \ Reports.
Click Finish. Notice that the location is now based on the domain name.
