Network Shares - Global Catalog - Browsing

[Guest JohnB]

In the MS Press book for 70-291 it talks about an alternative to NetBIOS

based browsing. It says that you can "add network shares to the AD Global

Catalog Server".

 

It's an interesting idea but, how would one do that?

In active directory users and computers, you would create a Shared Folder

object.

Huh, I never noticed that option before. I noticed you still have to setup

the Share and NTFS permissions the same way. So supposedly, if you add your

shared folders to AD this way, the network no longer needs WINS to browse

shares.

Have you tried this? Or has anyone else?

Does it work well? Are there any gotchas?

Seems like a good way to eliminate broadcast traffic on a network.
