Connecting DFS Namespaces with File Collaboration and File Synchronization Jobs

In order to allow the PMC synchronization engine to automate the state of folder targets, a File Collaboration or file synchronization job must be linked to a job that manages the appropriate DFS namespace. 

The two main ways to create this link are:

If the File Collaboration or file synchronization job already exists, edit the job and use the DFS-N settings page to link the collaboration or synchronization to the DFS-N Management job.  See Link a Namespace with an Existing File Collaboration or Synchronization Job for step-by-step instructions.

If the File Collaboration or synchronization job does not yet exist, create one from the DFS namespace folder.  See Create a File Collaboration or Synchronization Job from a DFS Namespace Folder for step-by-step instructions.

Note: Currently, only two job types, File Collaboration and File Synchronization, can be linked to a DFS-N Management job.
