Hi all,
Had a question I was hoping you might be able to help me with - I've done some research but have come up empty handed. Is there a way to tell what clients are accessing files/folders through DFS. To give a backstory, we are in the process of doing a domain consolidations from a M&A. This company extensively used their DFS name space everywhere (application configuration, drive mappings, printer configurations for scanning, etc). Management does not want to keep the AD environment up serving DFS, since there is no easy way to move the name space to another domain I need to get rid of it in the AD that will be shutting down.
I'd like to have an idea of what devices are using the name space to access files, is there some kind of logging or utility I can use? For example with DNS, I would turn on DNS debug logging to see what devices are sending queries then go address those devices. Would like to do the same with DFS.
Any feedback is appreciated!
