Exporting and Importing Information from DFS

A. You can import or export a DFS namespace by using the DFSUTIL command that is part of the Windows Server 2003 support tools. To do so, use the following command:

C:Documents and Settingsjohn>dfsutil /root:\savilltech.netshared /export:shared.xml

Once exported, the XML can be imported into another namespace using this command (the namespace must exist prior to importing):

C:Documents and Settingsjohn>dfsutil /root:\savilltech.nettest /import:shared.xml /setMicrosoft(R) Windows(TM) Dfs Utility Version 4.2Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1991-2005.
