I am using the command line util to create a lot of folder links using
dfsutil link add. The problem is that it appears that the dfsutil is
ignoring case and making all my folder links as lower case. So now I have a
DFS namespace that all the users see their folders in complete lower case
until I go back and rename them all. Does anyone have a work around or
figured out another solution. Thanks.

Hi Rich,

Thanks for reporting this issue. This is a know issue in dfsutil.
As a work around please use dfscmd /map to create links in dfs namespace.

Thanks
Ganesh

Thanks using dfscmd worked. I was able to use that to recreate a couple
hundred folders with the correct case.
