      Q. Is SMS 2003 compatible with Microsoft Distributed File System
(DFS)? If so, can DFS links be used as distribution points? (Updated
February 27, 2004)
      A. There is limited support for DFS in SMS 2003. Distribution points
can be targets of a DFS root, but packages must be deployed to the shared
folder on the distribution point, not to the DFS link name. Advanced Clients
can use programs that point to <DFS root>\<DFS link>\<executable>. Legacy
Clients can only use programs that point to shared folders on distribution
points, not to DFS links.

HTH,
