DFS has about 250 target links that point to \\server\share. Since the new server is going to have the same name, but a new SID is it true that all the target links will need to be removed from \\server\share and added back (even though the path is the same) because this updates the SID in AD? I believe this is the case, but it is a bit of m... 5 25.05.2007 20:51:16 Namespace Server no longer available I recently lost a namespace server due to a hardware failure. I cannot restore the original server so I had to rebuild a new one from scratch on new hardware. One of my DFSR roots (Public) was hosted on it. I have decided to host this namespace on an existing server rather than the new one for ease of administration (this other server already hosts my second of two namespaces).

This happens shortly after 1 a.m. (nobody in the offices at this time). Bad thing: the files disappear on both servers. Shouldn't one server "win" in the conflict re... 2 22.05.2007 22:55:01 DFS-R data collection scenario Hi, we've implemented the data collection scenario, where multiple branch servers replicate their data to a hub server, where it is backed up to tape. The MS documentation says that a maximum of 1 TB of data per server has been tested, which is not that much in a data collection scenario. I understand this is not a hard limit, right? But will MS support the environment if we have more... 4 22.05.2007 22:51:00 List replication groups I understand dfsradmin can be used to create and manage replication groups, if you know the explicit name of the replication groups.
