USAGE: Dfsutil /TargetPriority can be used to display the TargetPriority value of a specific target server of a DFS root or a link. It can also be used to set the priority of a root or link target. TargetPriority is a useful way to control client accesses to dfs target servers. Usage: dfsutil /TargetPriority /Path:/Server: /Share: [/Display] [/Set] [/PriorityRank: ] [/PriorityClass: ] [/Verbose] /Path: - UNC path of the root or the link. /Server: - Name of the root or link target server /Share: - Target share name. /PriorityRank: - specify the priority rank (0-31) to set. /PriorityClass: SiteCostNormal - Default behavior. GlobalHigh GlobalLow - Whether the target is in global high or global low priority class. SiteCostHigh & SiteCostLow - Whether the target is in high or low priority class within targets of same site cost. [/Verbose] - Display debug information. Examples: To display server priority settings of target \\MyDocServ1\DfsDocs of link \\DocDomain\DocRoot\DfsDocs, type: dfsutil /TargetPriority /Path:\\DocDomain\DocRoot\DfsDocs /Server:MyDocServ1 /Share:DfsDocs /Display To set server priority of target \\MyDocServ1\DfsDocs of link \\DocDomain\DocRoot\DfsDocs to 11, type: dfsutil /TargetPriority /Path:\\DocDomain\DocRoot\DfsDocs /Server:MyDocServ1 /Share:DfsDocs /PriorityRank:11 To make target \\MyDocServ1\DfsDocs of link \\DocDomain\DocRoot\DfsDocs a low priority target among targets of the same inter-site cost, type: dfsutil /TargetPriority /Path:\\DocDomain\DocRoot\DfsDocs /Server:MyDocServ1 /Share:DfsDocs /PriorityClass:SiteCostLow To make target \\MyDocServ1\DfsDocs of link \\DocDomain\DocRoot\DfsDocs to be ordered first by site cost, then by priority rank (default behavior), with the the priority value of 31, type: dfsutil /TargetPriority /Path:\\DocDomain\DocRoot\DfsDocs /Server:MyDocServ1 /Share:DfsDocs /PriorityClass:SiteCostNormal /PriorityRank:31 Notes: 1) The Path can be a Domain based or a Standalone DFS path. It must lead to a root or a link. 2) Priority rank must be between 0 and 31, both inclusive. 0 is the highest priority rank and 31 is the lowest priority rank. ie. Everything else being equal, a target with priority rank 0 will appear in a referral before one with priority rank 1. 3) TargetPriority can be used in conjunction with site costing, insite and the like. GlobalPriorityClass will take precedence over the site cost. The default behavior is SiteCostNormalPriorityClass.
