I have DFS namespace with multiple DFSR groups across a number of servers. The files themselves may live on the same drive on the servers.
I was wondering how DFS(R) handles the movement of folders, if I move a folder from one DFSR group to another, would the underlying system know to move the files on the local drives, or would it delete and then re-replicate throughout the group?
e.g.
local files (on mulitple servers):
d:\shares\share01
d:\shares\share02
DFS Namespace :
\\domain\DFS\Share01
\\domain\DFS\Share02
DFS Replication:
\\domain\DFS\Share01
\\domain\DFS\Share02
Also would it be better to have one replication group, rather than many if the groups had the same member servers? If there was just one replication group, would a folder move just be a move rather than a re-replication?
(Hope the above is a clear enough!)
