2.2.1.5 DFS Root
A DFS root has one of the following UNC path formats.
-
\\<ServerName>\<DFSName> \\<DomainName>\<DFSName>
where:
<ServerName> is the host name (as specified in section 2.2.1.1) of a DFS root target (as specified in section 2.2.1.7) of the DFS namespace.
<DomainName> is the domain name (as specified in section 2.2.1.3) of the domain hosting the domain-based DFS namespace.
<DFSName> is the DFS namespace name. A stand-alone DFS namespace can be referred to only by the first format. A domain-based DFS namespace can be referred to in either format, with the second format preferred.
