DFS/File Replication Service and SBS 2003 for branch offices
SBS2003 Newbie 11.07.2007 19:54:02
Hello, and pardon me if this has been asked already elsewhere.

I have a client who has an SBS 2003 server at his company's HQ. His company
has a branch office with about 3 users that connect their PCs to the remote
server via a persistent hardware VPN connection. The connection works fine;
users can login directly to the domain. However, the branch users say it is
somewhat slow to access files from the server.

Hence, we are considering adding a Windows 2003 server at the branch office.
My questions are as follows:

- Can DFS or file replication be setup for the two servers for the purposes
of sharing files?

- Are there any articles out there that describe how to do this?

- Is this difficult to do, and what things should I watch out for when
setting this up?

- Are there any other alternatives you would recommend other than DFS or
file replication?

Thanks in advance! I look forward to the responses!
