What is DFS-N?

DFS-N (Distributed File System Namespaces) is a Microsoft Windows Server role service that allows you to group shared folders located on different servers into one or more logically structured namespaces. This provides users with a single, unified view of shared resources, simplifying access and management. It is commonly used to consolidate file shares, improve availability through replication (DFS-R), and provide location transparency for users accessing network resources.
