asked on 

ms Dfs on 2012. struggling to publish and share new replicated folder with powershell

dfs on Windows 2012 r2

existing dfs name space
I have written a powershell that creates a new replicated folder. adds members. all the usual stuff it shows as published. paths ok.  but ...
the dfs path \\domain.com\fsroot\newfolder doesn’t work.    if I do it manually with share and publish in the gui it works.
so I think I’m missing the share part.  I’ve added new-smb share.  but still no joy.   basically.   how do I share and publish a newly created replicated folder with powershell please
