DFS links to other hosts under a parent folder

[DavieC]

I'm trying to make it easier for our users to navigate our storage. All clients are windows, storage is shared via SMB.
We have a number of separate TrueNAS servers

I'd like to use DFS links to present all the shared data from a single server, sort of a poor mans single namespace solution.

I can create a link to an external share using EXTERNAL:otherserver\sharename - that works fine, but is presented to the user in the format of \\MyServer\Name

What I really want to have is it presented in the format of \\MyServer\foldername\Name

This link sort of describes what I'm after, but doesn't seem to be a scale thing, maybe because there is no more "Auxiliary Parameters" option??

Using Scale 23.10.0.1

Any suggestions?

thanks dave

Today I installed Core and followed Basil's instructions - works just how I need - great work Basil!

I'm guessing it is the lack of the "Auxiliary parameters" option is preventing this working on Scale??
