What's New in DFS in Windows Server 2008

Windows Server 2008 includes the following new and updated programming elements for the Distributed File System (DFS).

DFS_NAMESPACE_VERSION_ORIGIN: Identifies the origin of DFS namespace version information.

NetDfsAddRootTarget: Creates a domain-based or stand-alone DFS namespace. If the namespace already exists, the function adds the specified root target to it.
NetDfsGetSupportedNamespaceVersion: Determines the version of the DFS namespace that can be created for a server or Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain by using the NetDfsAddRootTarget function.
NetDfsRemoveRootTarget: Removes 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.

DFS_INFO_8: Contains the name, status, GUID, time-out, property flags, metadata size, DFS target information, and link reparse point security descriptor for a root or link.
DFS_INFO_9: Contains the name, status, GUID, time-out, property flags, metadata size, DFS target information, link reparse point security descriptor, and a list of DFS targets for a root or link.
DFS_INFO_50: Contains the DFS metadata version and capabilities of an existing DFS namespace.
DFS_INFO_107: Contains information about a DFS root or link, including the comment, state, time-out, property flags, and the link reparse point security descriptor.
DFS_INFO_150: Contains the security descriptor for a DFS link's reparse point.
DFS_SUPPORTED_NAMESPACE_VERSION_INFO: Contains version information for a DFS namespace.
