WSS question. |
|
|
I considering moving to a WSS storage solution to consolidate our user storage. One thing I am concerned with though is the fact that our primary user storage utilizes NTFS Directory Junctions to present a "consolidated view" of the directories the users have access to. Since it appears that WSS supports reparse points in general, Directory Junctions I assume are supported.
Another concern is the method to create these points. Generally, all the junctions are created automagically through remote scripts fom an administrative machine. For the junction portion, I'm using the resource kit utilities such as linkd, xcacls, and rcmd. Would there be any issues with setting up an rcmdsvc service on WSS? I guess I just confused about what things can and can't be run on a WSS server and need some clarification
Thanks in advance for your help. |

WSS should behave just like you would expect a Windows Server to behave in
both scenarios you discussed.
For management - your scripts, etc. - you should see no difference at all
between WSS and the rest of the Windows Server family.
However, WSS is intended to be a dedicated file (and sometimes print)
server, so roles like being an domain controller or an application server
are not possible. It is, however, a fully functioning file server, including
NFS sharing and other handy features such as Directory Quotas - and VSS of
course :)
