How to move an SMB share to DFS + redirect old links?

Good day everyone!
There is an office LAN 25 PCs.
There is an SMB-share on a certain PC, which everyone accesses (there are links ubiquitous for all of the type \\NAME-PC\Documents\*.*).
NTFS rights for everyone.
Raised MS WS2008 R2 on it AD DS,DHCP,DNS.
Almost all PCs are brought into the domain.
Now I have set up DFS and I plan to transfer the public files \\NAME-PC\Documents to DFS in an SMB-share
Now the question is how to properly set up a redirect so that users breaking into "\\NAME-PC\Documents" get to "\\SERVER\DFS \TARGET" ? I will rename PC NAME-PC accordingly to NEW-NAME-PC.domain and bring it to the house.
I will distribute NTFS rights to certain folders when I transfer everything to DFS.

Don't do this, it will hurt. Something breaks along the way. With DFSN, you will have a link like corp.domainname.ru/public/Documents, so mount it as a network drive. At the DFS level, it will figure out which member of the replica is alive, and it will be possible to configure the switching logic (failover|fallback|roundrobin).
Surely in your office documents somewhere there will be a link to the old ball, otherwise I just don’t see the point in trying to make redirects. If so, then
1, All new documents are created only on a new ball. The old ball is switched to RO mode.
2. All old documents with the old link at the time of the user's request are transferred to a new ball, all links are redone by the user (you provide instructions on how to fix the link with the document in excel and how to find it)
