How can I add a linux folder to a Windows DFS tree?

Question

Accessing a Windows DFS share from Ubuntu or any other Linux for that matter, is pretty straight forward. However doing it in reverse seems to be not documented.

I have DFS Namespace running on Windows Server 2008. I would like to add a folder that is hosted on an Ubuntu 13.04 Server box to the DFS namespace. Any recommendations on how to go about this?

It was not has difficult as I thought. I just had to configure the share in samba correctly. Once it showed up DFS could find it easily.

Using NFS in the Ubuntu box (and in the Windows one, FWIW) might give you better performance. – dawud May 10 '13 at 20:09
