BLOBVersion (4 bytes): The DFS metadata format version stored as an unsigned, 32-bit, little-endian integer. This MUST always be set to 0.

BLOBElementCount (4 bytes): The number of <BLOBElement> elements that immediately follow this field in the DFS metadata stored as an unsigned, 32-bit, little-endian integer.

BLOBElement (variable): A variable number of DFSNamespaceElementBLOB structures, which immediately follow the BLOBElementCount. Each DFSNamespaceElementBLOB contains descriptive information about a DFS site, root, or link. The format and size of each DFSNamespaceElementBLOB depend on the information contained in it.
