We here at SAS do this all the time. You can do DFS mapping via the command line. Something like:

dfscmd /map \sashq\u\userid \netapp_name\share_name\userid

And the user will just need to go down to \sashq\u\userid. They do not need to know where this area resids. MS DFS hides this from the user (Just like AFS/DFS does in the Unix world)

I got this question from one of our NT guys... can a CIFS-enabled Netapp participate in an NT DFS tree? From what I understand, NT's DFS looks and acts like UNIX-style directory mounts (i.e., instead of assigning a drive letter to a shared drive, the drive appears under an existing directory).
