- How do I configure a Distributed File System (DFS)?
- A Windows Distributed File System DFS allows users to find, view, and work with files on your network from one central location. With DFS configured, users do not have to understand the complexities of a network or enter long UNC addresses to browse to files. DFS is installed with Windows...

- Step-by-Step Guide to Distributed File System (Dfs)
- Since shared files are widely distributed across networks, administrators face growing problems as they try to keep users connected to the data they need. The distributed file system Dfs provides a mechanism for administrators to create logical views of directories and files, regardless of where those files physically reside in...

- The ins and outs of the Windows File Replication Service
- At the heart of Windows Server lies the File Replication Service FRS. FRS is critical to the proper functioning of the Distributed File System and Group Policies, not to mention the proper functioning of login scripts across the domain. Without a properly functioning FRS, none of these services could be...

- Building Distributed File System clustering in Windows 2000
- An under-the-hood look at how both Microsoft clustering technologies workUsing the term “fault tolerance” to describe the Windows 2000 Cluster Service is a bit of a misnomer; it's more accurate to describe the Cluster Service's activities as “high availability.” And that high availability does not extend to the data stored...

- Extend your Windows NT server's reach with DFS
- When you run out of disk space on your Windows NT server, you could buy some space by adding extra hard drives. But in the end, the Distributed File System might be your best bet. In this Daily Drill Down, Brien Posey shows you how this add-on works.When a server...

- Get IT Done: Manage local files and folders more easily with drive mounting and hard links
- Although I normally recommend that users store their files on a network server so that the data is centrally located and regularly backed up, in some environments this just isn't practical. For example, your organization might have many laptop users who spend most of their time away from the network,...

- How to avoid obstacles when distributing software with Group Policies
- Using Group Policies is a powerful strategy for managing the configuration of a client. Organizations can use Group Policies to enforce configurations on their client machines. But in most cases organizations have not tried to use Group Policies to distribute software to end users. Although there are limitations to deploying...

- StorageX brings scalable, enterprise-level storage management to Windows
- Microsoft created their Distributed File System DFS technology to solve many different data storage problems. DFS is designed to present users with a unified view of files and folders, regardless of the server on which the individual folders are located. Furthermore, DFS technology is designed to boost scalability and availability...

- Avoiding excessive file replication in Windows 2000 due to antivirus software
- Nearly every network worthy of the name has antivirus protection. But because of the way some virus scanners perform their duties, network performance can suffer due to excessive file replication on systems using Distributed File System DFS and on other files that are regularly replicated between domain controllers. Here’s how...

- Don't Give Up on Distributed File Systems
- Wide-area distributed applications often reinvent the wheel for their storage needs, each incorporating its own special-purpose storage manager to cope with distribution, intermittent failures, limited bandwidth, and high latencies. This paper argues that a distributed file system could provide a reusable solution to these problems by coupling a standard interface...

- Cryptographic Security for a High-Performance Distributed File System
- Storage systems are increasingly subject to attacks. Cryptographic file systems mitigate the danger of exposing data by using encryption and integrity protection methods and guarantee end-to-end security for their clients. This paper describes a generic design for cryptographic file systems and its realization in a distributed Storage-Area Network SAN file...

- Distributed File System
- Microsoft Distributed File System does for servers and shares what file systems do for hard disks. File systems provide uniform named access to collections of sectors on disks; Dfs provides a uniform naming convention and mapping for collections of servers, shares, and files. Thus, Dfs makes it possible to organize...

- Performance Analysis of Distributed Data Base Systems
- In this paper we briefly present the design of a distributed relational data base system. Then, we discuss experimental observations of the performance of that system executing both short and long commands. Conclusions are also drawn concerning metrics that distributed query processing heuristics should attempt to minimize. Lastly, we comment...

- Proportional Service Allocation in Distributed Storage Systems
- Fully distributed storage systems have gained popularity in the past few years because of their ability to use cheap commodity hardware and their high scalability. While there are a number of algorithms for providing differentiated quality of service to clients of a centralized storage system, the problem has not been...

- A System for Specifying and Coordinating the Execution of Reliable Distributed Applications
- An increasing number of distributed applications are being constructed by composing them out of existing applications. The resulting applications can be very complex in structure, containing many temporal and dataflow dependencies between their constituent applications. This paper describes the design and implementation of a coordination language and the supporting execution...
