In other words, what's the minimum permissions required on the folders to be accessible by DFS? Is it "System"? ... 2 07.06.2007 23:19:17 DFSR errors replicating with SAN array We have recently moved to R2 DFS and have set up namespaces and configured replication between several servers at different sites. All is working well, apart from replication with the SAN array on one server, which generates various errors (see below) whenever replication is started. The same server has no problems replicating a folder on its local drive. This SAN array was previously atta... 2 07.06.2007 22:30:32 Is One-way replication possible? We have two Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise servers in two different location, let's call them Server A and Server B. Is it possible to do just a one-way replication between them. We just want the data to be replicated from Server A to Server B. If a file is deleted or modified on Server B, we don't want it to be deleted of modified on Server A. We just want Server B be a replica of Serve... 4 07.06.2007 22:03:22 Disable dfs folder target via command line Does anyone know of a way to disable a folder target via command line? I wrote a script that creates my folders and adds the folder targets to the namespace, there is a folder target I'd like added, but set to disabled and can be manually enabled later if need be. Does anyone know if there is a command to do this? Perhaps within dfscmd which I use to create the folder targets? Thanks... 2 04.06.2007 19:49:01 How to access DFS share We have a requirement to access a DFS share in another domain. Our local domain has no trust at all to this remote one, but we do have provided user accounts for the remote domain which we can manually authenticate with. All forests/domains are Win2k3 native. Is there any way at all we can access this remote resource from our domain? To complicate matters, theres a firewall between the ... 3 04.06.2007 19:43:01 dfs problems We want to replicate the files on our Windows Server Standard Edition 2003 SP1 to the Windows 2003 Server R2 for a backup. We are in a workgroup environment and not on a domain. I have my root set up on Windows Server R2 and the link to the Windows Standard Edition SP1. But I have no replication tab anywhere. Could someone help me out. I'm new at this also. Thanks ... 7 04.06.2007 15:36:23 DFS & FRS It seems that one of our administrators has setup a FRS service that is replicating the data for the same target paths as a DFS namespace folder. What is most interesting, is that the DFS management console, the DFS namespace folder seems to know it exists ( does not show it as a published replication group) but will not allow you to rename the target folder or do anything else with the... 5 01.06.2007 19:36:02 Delegating permissions for Replication Groups Hi, is there a possibility for limiting the number of replication groups per site, per server or per OU?

I have a Win2003 SBS R2 SP2 as domain controller and a joined Win2003 R2 SP2 acting in TS and FS roles. I would like to maintain a replica of our LOB databases folder on the TS/FS server. This would be a one-way replication and is to supplement our tape backup on the SBS, I have to run adprep.exe /forestprep first and it looks like it has to be run on the SBS since it is the Schema M... 2 31.05.2007 23:05:43 DFS UNC Path File access issue We recently implemented a DFS solution between two windows server 2003 machines. We are changing processing over and would like to programmatically read and write from a DFS UNC path, instead of referencing the physical path on either server. We are implementing this process in .NET so integration shouldn't be a problem, however, when the process trys to read/write from the DFS ... 1 31.05.2007 13:56:02 Error on creating namespace server Get the error message: The namespace server \\server\share cannot be added.

The server will keep the same name, but I believe since the SID is going to change I cannot simply leave the DFS configuration alone and expect it to work. Do I have to remove/re-add the server from the namespace servers + remove/re-add all the targets in the DFS folders so the... 2 30.05.2007 15:58:05 DFS Replication setup question Hi, We have 2 Win2003-SP1 domain controllers, and 1 Win2000-SP4 domain controller. We already are running a DFS root for many years but not for replication (kind of a namespace only, collecting shares from different servers and mapping in one folder tree). But now i need to replicate some folders (around 150GB) with a branch office connected with a 10Mbps link. Following are my questi... 2 30.05.2007 15:52:43 DFS Replication - Choosing Cost Hey all, I am about to deploy DFS into my network soon. I want the clients to use one server only for most of the time, since we dont have that many clients. Then if this server fails, fail over to the second server that contains a replica of the first. I plan to enable replication, but keep the second server as a running replica for redundancy. If i remember correctly you can se... 3 30.05.2007 15:50:41 DFS Replication and Vista I note that Vista now includes DFS Replication Service, and that it is used by Windows Meeting Space. I would like to use DFS replication to transfer files between 2 Vista clients. The MS article KB930516 states that you can't include a Vista computer in a replication group. It also says: "...you can successfully use only the Windows Vista version of the DFS Replication service in peer... 2 30.05.2007 15:45:04 DFS-R Initial Replication Hang We've recently migrated all of our servers from 2003 to 2003 R2 to utilize the DFS-R engine in R2. We've been migrating jobs from FRS to DFS-R one at a time and for the most part everything has gone smoothly. Effectively, our topology is a hub and spoke, but not all of our replication jobs are hub and spoke; most have 2 folder locations so they were set up as full mesh in dfs-r as hub an... 5 30.05.2007 14:54:34 DFS Replication FQDN of the member Hi, To start with we have a complex DNS environment, the problem I am trying to solve is ..

This is on a dual processor 3.0 ghz xeon with 2GB of memory and NO load on the cpu when processing replication. It seems like DFS is pre-eptively throttling bandwidth over a local lan.
