If you want to use a DFS namespace with a File Collaboration or File Synchronization job, you can create a DFS-N Management job to manage the namespace from within PeerGFS.  

PeerGFS is very flexible and lets you proceed in various ways.  For example:

•You can create a new namespace or import an existing one by first creating a DFS-N Management job and then later linking the namespace to a File Collaboration or File Synchronization job.

•You can create a new namespace or import an existing one when creating a File Collaboration or File Synchronization job, thus automatically linking namespace folder targets to the watchsets of the collaboration or synchronization participants.  A DFS-N Management job is automatically created during this process.

•You can also import an existing namespace by right-clicking on the Namespace Summary view which will guide you through the import of a namespace into PeerGFS. Importing an existing namespace will automatically create a DFS-N Management job which can then be linked to a File Collaboration or File Synchronization job.

Before creating jobs that use namespaces, you may want to configure DFS preferences.

See Managing DFS Namespaces for information about adding namespace servers, namespace folders, or folder targets to a DFS namespace.
