the remote storage of Exchange files on Windows Storage Server computers.
DFS Root
The “DFS Root” section identifies the DFS root folder and root name that Exchange is using.
Item Description
DFS Root Folder The folder that is hosting the stand-alone DFS root on the Exchange server. This will
be the absolute path of %ProgramFiles%\Windows Storage Server\Exchange\DFS.
Note: Do not move, rename, or remove this folder at any time.
DFS Root Name The name of the DFS root. This should correspond to the drive letter that is being
used for the mapped drive. By default, letter S is used for the mapped drive, and the
DFS root name is S$.
DFS Links
The “DFS Links” section provides the following information about each DFS link that has been
created for Exchange shares on the Exchange server.
Item Description
DFS Link The name given to the DFS link.
The format of this name is {storageserver.n}, where orageserver is the name of the
destination Windows Storage Server computer and n is a sequentially assigned
number that uniquely identifies the link on the Windows Storage Server computer.
The curly brackets ( { } ) are included in the name.
A separate link is created for each .edb file and each .stm file for each store; a single
link is created for all transaction logs for the storage group.
Link Target The UNC path to the destination location of the link — for example,
\\storageserver01\Exchange_TLOGS. For transaction logs, the link target should
match the Current Location that is presented in the “Storage Group Information”
section. For a database file, the link target should be the Current Location without
the file name.
State The current state of the Server Message Block (SMB) share located at the link target:
Pass or Fail - Share not found. To have Pass state, the share must exist and be
accessible.
For the share to be accessible, the Windows Storage Server must be online, the
Exchange server must have Full Control permission for the share as well as the
underlying folder, and the Exchange administrator who is performing the current
operation must have the same permissions.
