3.2.4.3.1 NetrDfsAddFtRoot (Opnum 10)

  • Article

The NetrDfsAddFtRoot method is supported only for a domainv1-based DFS namespace scenario.

An application MUST perform the following steps before invoking the NetrDfsAddFtRoot method:

  1. Determine the PDC of the domain of the DFS root target server that the ServerName parameter specifies.

  2. If an object of type fTDfs with the name of the domain-based DFS namespace does not already exist in the DFS Configuration Container, create a new object for the domain-based DFS namespace, as specified in section 2.3.3.

  3. Update the ACL on the object of the DFS namespace to permit read/write access by the DFS root target server.

  4. Call the NetrDfsFlushFtTable method on the PDC, specifying the DFS namespace name.

  5. If all prior steps succeeded without error, then the client MUST issue the NetrDfsSetDcAddress (Opnum 17) method to each server that the ppRootList parameter returns.<143><144>
