Be sure to enable **Access-based Enumeration** on all of the folder shares for additional security. You only need to ensure that the files exist on one of the file servers,then you need to create empty top-level folders with the same names on the replica servers, data will be replicated automatically from the file server to the empty folders. -Additionally, it is recommended (if possible) to set the share names to be hidden. For example `\\LAB-FPS-01\Projects$`, that way it ensures that users access the share via DFS at `\\bunny-lab.io\Projects` and users don't accidentally access the network shares directly, bypassing DFS. For example, the local path would be `Z:\Projects` but the network share would be `\\LAB-FPS-01\Projects$`. *This wouldn't break things like replication, but it would muck things up a little bit organizationally.* +Additionally, it is recommended (if possible) to set the share names to be hidden.
