Whenever you set up DFS in Windows 2000 and incorporate it in active directory, are you bound by any limit to the number of users who can access a particular folder concurrently? I was wondering if it is like the Server connection limits(10 concurrent connections).

The 10 concurrent connection limit only applies to Win2K Professional (to prevent it from being used as a cheap server). In Win2K server, you are only bound by the number of Client Access Licenses (CALs) on hand (if the Licence Logging service is turned on). Only shares existing on other servers (Win2K / NT / Netware / Unix) can be linked to Dfs.
