DFS_INFO_1 structure (lmdfs.h)

  • Article

Contains the name of a Distributed File System (DFS) root or link. This structure is only for use with the NetDfsEnum, NetDfsGetClientInfo, and NetDfsGetInfo functions and the FSCTL_DFS_GET_PKT_ENTRY_STATE control code.

Syntax

typedef struct _DFS_INFO_1 {
  LPWSTR EntryPath;
} DFS_INFO_1, *PDFS_INFO_1, *LPDFS_INFO_1;

Members

EntryPath

Pointer to a null-terminated Unicode string that specifies the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path of a DFS root or link.

For a link, the string can be in one of two forms. The first form is as follows:

\\ServerName\DfsName\link_path

where ServerName is the name of the root target server that hosts the stand-alone DFS namespace; DfsName is the name of the DFS namespace; and link_path is a DFS link.

The second form is as follows:

\\DomainName\DomDfsname\link_path

where DomainName is the name of the domain that hosts the domain-based DFS namespace; DomDfsname is the name of the DFS namespace; and link_path is a DFS link.

For a root, the string can be in one of two forms:

\\ServerName\DfsName

or

\\DomainName\DomDfsname

where the values of the names are the same as those described previously.

Remarks

The DFS functions use the DFS_INFO_1 structure to retrieve information about a DFS root or link.
