So a new file server was created, data copied over and all good to go. I went to go install dfs but its not in the add remove windows components. I went to change the server role but under the file server option it wants me to uninstall the file server options. I installed a vm ware of the os I installed and the options are not there, either way to be installed. When I uninstalled the file server options under server role, it didnt allow me to install dfs like the ms document states. The doc from ms is here So... maybe i am doing something wrong here.. so..please help. thanks. -M
