DFS and file shares


Recommended Posts

I am trying to find out if Distributed File System (DFS) is what

Windows Server 2003 uses to share files over a network. If not, what

does it use? This is not about how to share files, but what is the

technology used. Any reference to docs explaining would be most

appreciated. Thanks.
