Q. How can I check the size of a Dfs namespace?

A. You use the Dfsutil command and specify the /view switch to display the current size of a Dfs namespace, for example

dfsutil /root:\demo.testshared /view

where \demo.testshared is the root name. After you execute the command, you'll see messages on screen similar to these:

Domain Root with 2 Links[Blob Size: 922 bytes]

You can estimate the size of a Dfs namespace by using the following values as guides:

Of course, comments will increase Dfs namespace size, so if disk space is a problem, try to keep comments as short as possible.
