lmdfs.h contains the following programming interfaces:

Functions

NetDfsAdd Creates a new Distributed File System (DFS) link or adds targets to an existing link in a DFS namespace.
NetDfsAddFtRoot Creates a new domain-based Distributed File System (DFS) namespace. If the namespace already exists, the function adds the specified root target to it.
NetDfsAddRootTarget Creates a domain-based or stand-alone DFS namespace or adds a new root target to an existing domain-based namespace.
NetDfsAddStdRoot Creates a new stand-alone Distributed File System (DFS) namespace.
NetDfsEnum Enumerates the Distributed File System (DFS) namespaces hosted on a server or DFS links of a namespace hosted by a server.
NetDfsGetClientInfo Retrieves information about a Distributed File System (DFS) root or link from the cache maintained by the DFS client.
NetDfsGetFtContainerSecurity Retrieves the security descriptor of the container object for the domain-based DFS namespaces in the specified Active Directory domain.
NetDfsGetInfo Retrieves information about a specified Distributed File System (DFS) root or link in a DFS namespace.
NetDfsGetSecurity Retrieves the security descriptor for the root object of the specified DFS namespace.
NetDfsGetStdContainerSecurity Retrieves the security descriptor for the container object of the specified stand-alone DFS namespace.
NetDfsGetSupportedNamespaceVersion Determines the supported metadata version number.
NetDfsMove Renames or moves a DFS link.
NetDfsRemove Removes a Distributed File System (DFS) link or a specific link target of a DFS link in a DFS namespace. When removing a specific link target, the link itself is removed if the last link target of the link is removed.
NetDfsRemoveFtRoot Removes the specified root target from a domain-based Distributed File System (DFS) namespace.
NetDfsRemoveFtRootForced Removes the specified root target from a domain-based Distributed File System (DFS) namespace, even if the root target server is offline.
NetDfsRemoveRootTarget Removes a DFS root target from a domain-based DFS namespace. If the root target is the last root target in the DFS namespace, this function removes the DFS namespace. This function can also be used to remove a stand-alone DFS namespace.
NetDfsRemoveStdRoot Deletes a stand-alone Distributed File System (DFS) namespace.
NetDfsSetClientInfo Modifies information about a Distributed File System (DFS) root or link in the cache maintained by the DFS client.
NetDfsSetFtContainerSecurity Sets the security descriptor of the container object for the domain-based DFS namespaces in the specified Active Directory domain.
NetDfsSetInfo Sets or modifies information about a specific Distributed File System (DFS) root, root target, link, or link target.
NetDfsSetSecurity Sets the security descriptor for the root object of the specified DFS namespace.
NetDfsSetStdContainerSecurity Sets the security descriptor for the container object of the specified stand-alone DFS namespace.

DFS_INFO_1 Contains the name of a Distributed File System (DFS) root or link.
DFS_INFO_100 Contains a comment associated with a Distributed File System (DFS) root or link.
DFS_INFO_101 Describes the state of storage on a DFS root, link, root target, or link target.
DFS_INFO_102 Contains a time-out value to associate with a Distributed File System (DFS) root or a link in a named DFS root.
DFS_INFO_103 Contains properties that set specific behaviors for a DFS root or link.
DFS_INFO_104 Contains the priority of a DFS root target or link target.
DFS_INFO_105 Contains information about a DFS root or link, including comment, state, time-out, and DFS behaviors specified by property flags.
DFS_INFO_106 Contains the storage state and priority for a DFS root target or link target. This structure is only for use with the NetDfsSetInfo function.
DFS_INFO_107 Contains information about a DFS root or link, including the comment, state, time-out, property flags, and link reparse point security descriptor.
DFS_INFO_150 Contains the security descriptor for a DFS link's reparse point.
DFS_INFO_2 Contains information about a Distributed File System (DFS) root or link. This structure contains the name, status, and number of DFS targets for the root or link.
DFS_INFO_200 Contains the name of a domain-based Distributed File System (DFS) namespace.
DFS_INFO_3 Contains information about a Distributed File System (DFS) root or link. This structure contains the name, status, number of DFS targets, and information about each target of the root or link.
DFS_INFO_300 Contains the name and type (domain-based or stand-alone) of a DFS namespace.
DFS_INFO_4 Contains information about a Distributed File System (DFS) root or link. This structure contains the name, status, GUID, time-out, number of targets, and information about each target of the root or link.
DFS_INFO_5 Contains information about a Distributed File System (DFS) root or link. This structure contains the name, status, GUID, time-out, namespace/root/link properties, metadata size, and number of targets for the root or link.
DFS_INFO_50 Contains the DFS metadata version and capabilities of an existing DFS namespace.
DFS_INFO_6 Contains information about a Distributed File System (DFS) root or link. This structure contains the name, status, GUID, time-out, namespace/root/link properties, metadata size, number of targets, and information about each target of the root or link.
DFS_INFO_7 Contains information about a DFS namespace. This structure contains the version GUID for the metadata for the namespace.
DFS_INFO_8 Contains the name, status, GUID, time-out, property flags, metadata size, DFS target information, and link reparse point security descriptor for a root or link.

Enumerations

DFS_NAMESPACE_VERSION_ORIGIN Identifies the origin of DFS namespace version information.
DFS_TARGET_PRIORITY_CLASS The DFS_TARGET_PRIORITY_CLASS enumeration r1 (lmdfs.h) defines the set of possible DFS target priority class settings.
