7.6.3. Share and Publish Replicated Folders in a
Namespace
When you created replicated folders in the previous tasks, you specified the
local path of a folder on each member of the replication group. Unless the
local path on each server was previously shared, users cannot access the
replicated folders after they are created. To make replicated folders available
to users, you must share them and, optionally, publish them in an existing
namespace.
In this task, you publish the LOB Data replicated folder in the
\\server_or_domain\
Public
namespace that you created in the DFS
Namespaces step-by-step section. If you did not complete the previous step-
by-step section or do not have a namespace in your test lab, skip this
procedure.
To share the LOB Data replicated folder and publish it in a namespace:
1.
In the console tree of the DFS Management snap-in, under the
Replication
node, click the
Data Distribution
replication group.
2.
In the details pane, click the
Replicated Folders
tab, right-click the
LOB Data
replicated folder, and then click
Share and Publish in
Namespace
.
3.
Follow the steps in the
Share and Publish Replicated Folder
Wizard
and supply the information in the following fields.
o
Publishing Method
- Select
Share and publish the
replicated folder in a namespace
.
o
Share Replicated Folders
- For each member that shows
[Shared Folder Needed]
in the
Action
column, select the
member, and then click
Edit
to create the new shared folder
and adjust shared folder permissions if necessary. If the
Action
column shows
Create shared folder: LOB Data or
Existing Shared Folder
, you can click
Next
.
o
Namespace Path
- In
Parent folder in namespace
, type
\\server_or_domain\
Public\Software
.
o
Review Settings and Share Replicated Folder
- Click
Share
to share the replicated folders and publish the LOB
Data replicated folder in the namespace.
o
Confirmation
- Click
Close
to close the wizard.
After you finish the wizard, review the console tree and the
Replicated
Folders
tab in the details pane. First, notice in the console tree that an LOB
Data folder was added to the namespace and the folder icon indicates that
the folder is replicated, as shown in the following figure.
