SYMPTOMS
There is no option to create a new Microsoft distributed file system (Dfs) link for any current Dfs link in the Distributed File System snap-in. You cannot create links under current links; you can create only replicas.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
For example, the relevant part of a Dfs tree might be:   DFS |  |--Tools |--Flats |--Users A-M |--Users N-Z In this example, "Users N-Z" might point to the \\ \Users share.

There are no provisions in DFS Manager for creating Dfs links under any of the four current Dfs links shown above.

Additional query words: child nodes
