.NAME
DFSNamespaceFolder .DESCRIPTION This resource is used to create, edit or remove folders from DFS namespaces. When a target is the last target in a namespace folder, the namespace folder itself will be removed. .PARAMETER Path Key - String Specifies a path for the root of a DFS namespace. .PARAMETER TargetPath Key - String Specifies a path for a root target of the DFS namespace. .PARAMETER Ensure Required - String Allowed values: Present, Absent Specifies if the DFS Namespace root should exist. .PARAMETER Description Write - String The description of the DFS Namespace. .PARAMETER EnableInsiteReferrals Write - Boolean Indicates whether a DFS namespace server provides a client only with referrals that are in the same site as the client. .PARAMETER EnableTargetFailback Write - Boolean Indicates whether a DFS namespace uses target failback. .PARAMETER ReferralPriorityClass Write - String Allowed values: Global-High, SiteCost-High, SiteCost-Normal, SiteCost-Low, Global-Low Specifies the target priority class for a DFS namespace root. .PARAMETER ReferralPriorityRank Write - UInt32 Specifies the priority rank, as an integer, for a root target of the DFS namespace. .PARAMETER TimeToLiveSec Write - UInt32 Specifies a TTL interval, in seconds, for referrals. .PARAMETER State Read - String Specifies a TTL interval, in seconds, for referrals. .EXAMPLE 1 Create an AD Domain V2 based DFS namespace called software in the domain contoso.com with a three targets on the servers ca-fileserver, ma-fileserver and ny-fileserver. It also creates a IT folder in each namespace.
