Syntax

Parameter Set: RevokeNamespaceAccessRights2

Detailed Description

The Revoke-DfsnAccess cmdlet revokes permissions for users and groups to access and enumerate the contents of a Distributed File System (DFS) namespace folder. You can use the Get-DfsnAccess cmdlet to see the current permissions, and you can use the Grant-DfsnAccess cmdlet to grant permissions.

For a DFS namespace which has Access-based Enumeration enabled, users can see only the folders that they can access.

For more information about DFS namespaces, see Overview of DFS Namespaces (https://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc730736) on TechNet.
