Conflict and Deleted folder: folder where conflicting files that are not to be replicated are placed.
DFS Namespace: a configuration that enables you to group shared folders into a single logical structure.
DFS Replication: enables you to replicate folders between multiple servers in a DFS Namespace.
Distributed File System (DFS): a set of technologies that enable a Windows server to organize multiple distributed SMB file shares into a distributed file system.
domain-based namespace: a DFS namespace where the configuration is stored in Active Directory, which means that you don’t have to rely on a single server to provide the namespace information to your clients.
full mesh topology: a DFS replication topology all members replicate to all other members.
hub/spoke topology: a DFS replication topology where one server is used to replicate to the other members, which limits the replication traffic to specific pairs of members.
referral: an ordered list of servers or targets that a client computer receives from a domain controller or namespace server when the user accesses a namespace root or a DFS folder with targets.
remote differential compression (RDC): a compression algorithm that detects changes to the data in a file and replicates only those file blocks that changed instead of the entire file.
replication group: a collection of servers, known as members, each of which holds a target of a DFS folder.
staging folder: a cache for new and changed files that need to be replicated.
stand-alone namespace: a DFS namespace where the configuration is stored on the server and the server name becomes part of the main path to the namespace.

active screening: a screening method that prevents users from saving the defined unauthorized files.
file group: defines a namespace for a file screen, file screen exception, or Files by File Group storage report.
file screen exception: a special type of file screen that overrides any file screening that would otherwise apply to a folder and all its subfolders in a designated exception path.
file screen template: a set of file groups to screen, the type of screening to perform (active or passive), and (optionally) a set of notifications that are generated automatically when a user saves, or attempts to save, an unauthorized file.
file screening: allows you to control the type of files that users can save and to send notifications when users try to save a blocked file.
File Server Resource Manager (FSRM): a suite of tools that enables you to control and manage the quantity and type of data stored on a file server.
hard quota: a storage quota that prevents users from saving files after the space limit is reached and generates notifications when the volume of data reaches the configured threshold.
passive screening: a screening method that allows users to save a file, but provides for the monitoring and notification when a user saves an unauthorized file.
quota template: a default configuration for quotas that can be applied quickly to a folder.
quotas: a limit on how much space a folder or volume can use.
soft quota: a storage quota that does not enforce the quota limit but generates a notification when the configured threshold is met.
storage reports: reports that show the state of file server volumes and anyone who exceeds the quota or uses files that aren’t allowed.
