Connecting DFS Namespaces with File Collaboration and File Synchronization Jobs

In order to allow the PeerGFS 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 ways to create this link are:

•If the File Collaboration or File 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.

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

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