This is part two of my DFS setup blog for Windows 2012.  In this post we will cover folder creation and advanced folders.

Create a Folder

1. Highlight your namespace and select new folder
   
2. I am creating a folder for Shared data
   
   Add the path to the folder target – in my case its \\DFS-1\Shares
   

Creating an Advanced Folder Structure

1. We are going to create a new namespace called UserData$
   Adding the $ to the end will make the namespace hidden
   
2. Under User data we are going to add our departmental shares. In my case IT and Little People
   Marketing is stored in our previous location \\DFS-1\data
   Engineering is stored in \\DFS-1\data
   

This will complete of series on DFS Namespace.  The next DFS blog will be about DFS replication.
