My guess is this is because the article you're looking at is a &quot;beginner's&quot; description of what DFS is &nbsp;and what it does. &nbsp;This hasn't really changed with the newer operating systems. &nbsp;The newer articles for 2008 and 2012 are specific &quot;how to set up&quot; kind of articles because there are differences in the process for the different operating systems, or &quot;what's new&quot; articles to explain the changes between 2003, 2008 and 2012.<br />
<br />
Here's an article for 2008 server:<br />

10x for your commnet paulmacd, I've already setup the DFS. What I was looking was something more how dfs works internally. Nothing in this articles are written how the technology works in depth( for example, when the client tried to access dfs, it goes to domain controller, than to namespace servers, etc..., something in that direction.)
