Title: DFS on Domain Controllers

I wasn't going to have any real files on the DCs just the DFS root and links the point to real shares on file servers.

The sysvol shares are not handled by dfs. You can put dfs roots on DCs but as a matter of policy it's not a good idea to have any file shares other than sysvol on a DC. But for a small network and limited resources...

Is it a bad idea to make DFS Root Targets on Domain Controllers? If I browse to my AD 2003 domain \\example.com I see the two folders: Netlogon & Sysvol. But if I browse to \\example.com\DFS-Root I see my Links which point to shares on file servers…

\\example.com\DFS-Root\Acctg --> \\File-Server-1\Acctg
\\example.com\DFS-Root\Eng --> \\File-Server-2\Engineering
Thanks
