DFS and Folder Redirection help and tips

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
