Hi,
I am about to implement this and just looking for some info, help and tips.
I have around 1300 users.
From what I can tell dfs replication is not recommended for the obvious reasons.
So is this the best way to go about it:
- Have two DFS servers (one main server and one for backup)
- On the main DFS server create a new name space and a new share ("users") and then link the new share to the new name space.
- Configure the folder redirection gpo to point at the new share on the name space
- On the 2nd DFS server I will also create a share ("users" again) and from the dfs management console create a new "replication group for data collection" (Am I right to think that this option is for backup purposes only????)
So if my plan is correct and say the main DFS server goes down, I can relink the "user" folder to the 2nd backup dfs server and my users will be able to continue working.
I hope this makes sense and will it work? lol
And thanks in advance
