Hi,
I have two Server 2003 R2 servers running DFS.
One of the servers is having issues and i want to replace it with a 2008 R2 Standard server. Unfortunatly i must move the servers name to the new server as there are some standard shares which have yet to be moved to DFS so i cant just add the new server to the DFS. Its a VMware server and the file stores are RDM so i can just connect them to the new server and match everything back up so the Standard shares will be easy. What i need to know is if i can just export the DFS settings from the 2003 server and re-import them back into the 2008? And if so what do i need to actually transfer? It replicates between two sites and im worried it will just delete all the data.
We are using domain based DFS and i believe the server I want to rebuild it the root server for the drives.
Thanks in advance for the help.
David
