/add \\ dfsname \ dfsshare \ path \\ server \ share \ path [/restore]

Adds a replica to a Dfs volume. With /restore, do not check the destination server.

/map \\ dfsname \ dfsshare \ path \\ server \ share \ path [ comment ] [/restore]

Creates a new Dfs volume by mapping a Dfs path to a shared folder. The /restore option causes no check to be performed to see if the destination server is available.
