### Create & Configure Network Shares
Create (or identify) the folders you want to publish in the namespace, and share them on **each** server. Be sure to enable **Access-based Enumeration** on all of the folder shares for additional security.
Create (or identify) the folders you want to publish in the namespace, and share them on **each** server. Be sure to enable **Access-based Enumeration** on all of the folder shares for additional security. You only need to ensure that the folders exist on one of the servers, it will be created on-the-fly and replicated automatically.
Additionally, it is recommended (if possible) to set the share names to be hidden. For example `\\LAB-FPS-01\Projects$`, that way it ensures that users access the share via DFS at `\\bunny-lab.io\Projects` and users don't accidentally access the file servers directly, bypassing DFS. For example, the local path would be `Z:\Projects` but the network share would be `\\LAB-FPS-01\Projects$`. *This wouldn't break things like replication, but it would muck things up a little bit organizationally.*
