You use the Dfsutil command and specify the /view switch to display the current size of a Dfs namespace, for example
dfsutil /root:\\demo.test\shared /view
where \\demo.test\shared is the root name. After you execute the command, you”ll see messages on screen similar to these:
Domain Root with 2 Links
[Blob Size: 922 bytes]
You can estimate the size of a Dfs namespace by using the following values as guides:
- Root: approximately 300 bytes
- Each root target: approximately 150 bytes
- Each link in the root: approximately 320 bytes
- Each link target: approximately 120 bytes
Of course, comments will increase Dfs namespace size, so if disk space is a problem, try to keep comments as short as possible.
