Installing Enkompass with DFS
Grab the Enkompass installer from http://layer1.cpanel.net and get started. You may have some prerequisites and what not to get installed, but for more about that you can check out the Enkompass installation documentation. These are the steps I took to make my replicated DFS namespace to work with Enkompass.
Click Next and move on :)
Uncheck the box to enable quotas as the DFS namespaces do not report quota information.
Use the local path E:\WebSiteShare for the share. It will be replicated to each of the other machines so long as the relative volume is E:\WebSiteShare on each of the IIS servers in the domain. Every IIS server that uses this DFS share must have the same drive letter and folder, so you may need to alter the partitioning scheme to make this work.
I setup another DFS Share for my IIS files but to make the reads local I told the Enkompass installer to use \\localhost as the path. I set this share up like the other.
Run through the rest of the installer and login to SAI.
Roll through the setup wizard and install each of your IIS servers. The servers will need to complete the push install process to become active but your replicating namespace is now configured to work within Enkompass.
