DFS and DFS-R

Question
-
Hello-
I'm very new to DSF and DSF-R technology.
Can someone direct me to a guide of some sort that I can read on how DFS really works from A-Z ?
Also, can someone give me some guidance on where I can find a useful bunch of command line tools to troubleshoot DFS and DFS-R replication issues.
Thanks
Anthony

Sure. You did not mention OS so I'll reference both 2008 R2 and 2012 R2 if you don't mind :) See:
