Actually, no. Publishing a share lists the share when searching and browsing
the directory. It does not change the path of the share or make it available
by another path.

If you want to have shares that are accessible by using
\\domain.com\root-name\share-name look at DFS and how to setup a
domain-based DFS root.

I have a number of shares on my network - I can see an option to publish
them via Active Directory - if I do this how do I then make use of the
published share

eg \\server\share
in active directory I would expect to be able to access
\\domain\share
Am I on the right track?
