The supplier of our customer's ERP system says that their software gets performance problems when running on a server with DFS enabled.
I notice that DFS Namespace and DFS Replication is enabled on the server. Can we disble those services to test if the performance problems with the software will disappear or will disabling the services give us problems?
Sbs 2011 Essentials
It's a single server without any replication setup or needed.
Enable Office 365 Auto-discover for Outlook in SBS 2011 Exchange Environments. One of the issues you will run into when migrating from an on premises Exchange 2010 server on SBS 2011 is that Outlook will not autodiscover the correct Office 365 server settings. Fortunately this can be easily solved with a few simple PowerShell commands. Do you want to upgrade an old SBS 2011 or 2008 server in your office? Or maybe even an SBS 2003 or Windows Server 2012 R2? We have migration guides to a new environment build on Windows Server 2016 or 2019 Standard or Essentials + Office 365 or to an on-premise Exchange Server 2016 or 2019. A Dutch Microsoft MVP.

Are you sure about that?
Can't you just simply not-use-DFS? e.g. use serversharedfolder instead of dfsrootsharedfolder
I don't think that DFS by itself should have anything to do with the ERP system. You might want to check with them.
MichelZMichelZI'm pretty sure that if you disable DFS on a domain controller it will get very upset, since DFS is used for sysvol replication. Theoretically it shouldn't be necessary for a single server setup, but SBS is finnicky anyway and I reckon it would crap the bed.

You can disable SMB 2.0 on SBS 2011 and clients, no worries. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2696547
