Yes True
NO! That's the whole idea of the Distributed in DFS. Having 'more than one' Servers is what gives you the fault tolerance!
Standalone DFS & Domain-Based DFS
Stand-alone DFS Namespace In a stand-alone DFS namespace, the path to access the root or a link starts with the root server name. The stand-alone DFS root can comprise of a single root target. Therefore, these are not fault tolerant. When the root target is not available, you cannot access the complete DFS namespace. You can enable fault tolerance on a stand-alone DFS namespace by creating these namespaces on a cluster of servers. A stand-alone DFS namespace has its configuration information stored in the local registry of eth root server. Domain-based DFS Namespace In a domain-based DFS namespace, the path to access the root or a link starts with the domain name of the host. The domain-based DFS root can comprise of single or multiple root targets that enables fault tolerance and load sharing. A domain-based DFS namespace has its configuration information stored in the Active Directory. Exemple : • \\DomainName\RootName: This is the format of the namespace when you select the Domain-based DFS namespace type. • \\ServerName\RootName: This is the format of the namespace when you select the Stand-alone DFS namespace type.
In order to modify permissions, a user would need to have "Full Control"
Fault Tolerant refers to systems capable of uptimes of 99.999% or higher. RAID disks, multi-pathing, RAIN Networking are some technologies in use in fault tolerant systems that can continue operation during a failure. System backups are NOT part of a fault tolerant plan per se but, are required in a fault tolerant system in case of a complete failure. System backups should always be kept outside of the fault tolerant environment.
RAID 1 is the most fault tolerant, as all drives have to fail to lose data.
