Distributed File System Functions

The following are the Distributed File System (DFS) functions.

FunctionDescription
NetDfsAddCreates a DFS link or adds targets to an existing link in a DFS namespace.
NetDfsAddFtRootCreates a domain-based DFS namespace. If the namespace already exists, the function adds the specified root target to it.
NetDfsAddRootTargetCreates a domain-based or stand-alone DFS namespace or adds a new root target to an existing domain-based namespace.
NetDfsAddStdRootCreates a stand-alone DFS namespace.
NetDfsEnumEnumerates the DFS namespaces hosted on a server or DFS links of a namespace hosted by a server.
NetDfsGetClientInfoRetrieves information about a DFS root or link from the cache maintained by the DFS client.
NetDfsGetInfoRetrieves information about a specified DFS root or link in a DFS namespace.
NetDfsGetFtContainerSecurityRetrieves the security descriptor of the container object for the domain-based DFS namespaces in the specified Active Directory domain.
NetDfsGetSecurityRetrieves the security descriptor for the root object of the specified DFS namespace.
NetDfsGetStdContainerSecurityRetrieves the security descriptor for the container object of the specified stand-alone DFS namespace.
NetDfsGetSupportedNamespaceVersionDetermines the supported metadata version number.
NetDfsMoveRenames or moves a DFS link.
NetDfsRemoveRemoves a target from a DFS link; removes the DFS link if the target is the last associated with the specified link.
NetDfsRemoveFtRootRemoves a root target from a domain-based DFS namespace; deletes the DFS root if there are no more associated targets.
NetDfsRemoveFtRootForcedRemoves the specified root target from a domain-based DFS namespace, even if the server is offline.
NetDfsRemoveRootTargetRemoves a DFS root target from a domain-based DFS namespace. If the root target is the last root target in the DFS namespace, this function removes the DFS namespace. This function can also be used to remove a stand-alone DFS namespace.
NetDfsRemoveStdRootDeletes the root of a stand-alone DFS namespace.
NetDfsSetClientInfoModifies cached information about a DFS link on a client computer.
NetDfsSetInfoSets or modifies the information associated with a DFS link in the named DFS root, or with the DFS root itself.
NetDfsSetFtContainerSecuritySets the security descriptor of the container object for the domain-based DFS namespaces in the specified Active Directory domain.
NetDfsSetSecuritySets the security descriptor for the root object of the specified DFS namespace.
NetDfsSetStdContainerSecuritySets the security descriptor for the container object of the specified stand-alone DFS namespace.
