Create DFS Namespace on cluster - 2008R2 using CLI -or PowerShell

$

Hi, I've been assigned to create 100's & 100's of DFS namespaces on Windows 2008R2 clusters. The customer want it to be automated so I've been trying to create / reverse engineer how to create DFS namespaces in the OS on clusters. With no luck!

I've cheked the Win32_DFSNode class, but there are no evident methods to use... dfsutil.exe does not support creating namespaces on clusters, dfscmd.exe i dont even know what it does... in Windows 2012 & R2 I can see that they have added cmdlets for it, but the customer has 2008R2 so that is also a dead end!

I've been trying to find stuff online and there are lots of examples on how to create the namespaces on standalone machines, but not cluster nodes. Since there is a GUI option for creating DFS namespaces, I would settle for a .Net class or COM object, and I would sort it out in PowerShell.... any ideas, feedback, pointers and so on? Thanks guys!
