.NAME
DFSNamespaceRoot .DESCRIPTION This resource is used to create, edit or remove standalone or domain based DFS namespaces. When the server is the last server in the namespace, the namespace 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 Type Required - String Allowed values: Standalone, DomainV1, DomainV2 Specifies the type of a DFS namespace as a Type object. .PARAMETER Description Write - String The description of the DFS Namespace. .PARAMETER EnableSiteCosting Write - Boolean Indicates whether a DFS namespace uses cost-based selection. .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 EnableAccessBasedEnumeration Write - Boolean Indicates whether a DFS namespace uses access-based enumeration. .PARAMETER EnableRootScalability Write - Boolean Indicates whether a DFS namespace uses root scalability mode. .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.
