Exam 70-743 topic 1 question 127 discussion

I think the answer is: New-SmbShare and New-DfsnFolder. Folder1 needs to be shared with New-SmbShare. A new DFS-N folder needs to be created with New-DfsnFolder with parameters -Path for the folder name and -TargetPath for the share.

First, we have to recognize that the Folder1 on Server1 is NOT shared at all. Because of that, to make it usable for DFS it should be shared some way. There is a way: E. New-SmbShare Second, I assume that the folder should be added to DFS namespace as a target but NOT replication member. If yes, then: – no need to install DFS feature as no need to participate in replication, – A. New-DfsnFolderTarget as new share should be added to target list with DEFAULT permissions (no need to mess with permissions)

Answer should be A & E - A good explanation I found on another site - "First, we have to recognize that the Folder1 on Server1 is NOT shared at all. Because of that, to make it usable for DFS it should be shared some way. There is a way: E. New-SmbShare Second, I assume that the folder should be added to DFS namespace as a target but NOT replication member. If yes, then: – no need to install DFS feature as no need to participate in replication, – A. New-DfsnFolderTarget as new share should be added to target list with DEFAULT permissions (no need to mess with permissions)"

There is a missing sentence: "You need to use Folder1 as a target for Namespace1" New-DfsnFolderTarget for create the target folder Grant-DfsnAccess to assign permissions

"New-DfsnFolderTarget" and "Grant-DfsnAccess"

C. Grant-DfsnAccess D. New-DfsnFolder

According to this book, the answer should be A & E. New-SmbShare and New-DfsnFolderTarget. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=vrN7DwAAQBAJ&pg=PA5&lpg=PA5&dq=You+create+a+folder+named+Folder1+on+Server1.+Grant-DfsnAccess&source=bl&ots=DaLsEKa1Em&sig=ACfU3U1Bs61UZSHByTmMK9zcPh0X5avFEA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjkmPm--s3lAhXfTBUIHb8FCLAQ6AEwCHoECAkQAQ#v=snippet&q=answers&f=false

I too think part of the question is missing. It mentions a DFS namespace but nothing about a folder, so sure New-DfsnFolder to create a folder in the DFS namespace, and then you'd need to add a folder target so New-DfsnFolderTarget. However it says there's a folder on the File Server that you create, but nothing about it being shared which you would need for the New-DfsnFolderTarget command.

The correct answer is: New-DfsnFolder This fill take an existing folder and add it to the existing NameSpace. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/dfsn/new-dfsnfolder?view=win10-ps

I think the question is missing something, there is no mention of permissions in the question yet the answer uses a powershell command: The Grant-DfsnAccess cmdlet grants permissions to users and groups for a Distributed File System (DFS) namespace folder
