publish a share in AD

Hi Experts,

we are using a lot of shares in our network, they are located on our NETAPP.
Can you explain me the benefit of publishing a share into AD ?
Later on is it still secure ?

And we use many letters for our shares, more letters than the alphabet has....
Do you also have a recommendation to map shared folders to people but with an easier way ?

OK, publishing a share in AD is just a benefit to search it.
Thanks, maybe it is a benefit for us.
When I use DFS, you mean I can make my shares visible for all users and no letters anymore needed ?
Can I combine it with Access Based Enumeration ?

This is a great question.. I have often wondered my self why or the really value of adding a share or printer in AD when a user can easily type in \\servername and list all shares
