The trouble was observed when I configured a link inside the dfs root. I have tried linking to an existing folder and endeavoring to create one whilst configuring the new link; the result is the same: browsing to my root, then to my link(s) produces a folder within folder effect d... 5 26.06.2007 23:32:01 SBS 2003 R2 and Server 2003 R2 Im hoping someone can clear this up easily. With a mixed domain on multiple sites what functionality do I get with SBS 2003 R2 and server 2003 R2 on a separate site. Ive used (fairly sucessfully) 'normal' SBS 2003 FRS replication to a std 2003 server. I understand I wont get the Enterprise functionality, if I make a server Enterprise do I get it, even with a sbs 2003 r2 server in ther... 1 26.06.2007 16:59:01 DFS cost setup I have 2 R2 member servers (file servers) and have a name space with 2 folders. How can I set up the DFS so users from site A go to server A and users on site B go to server B? It looks like all users are going to site B server even if residing on site A. Thanks in advance. ... 2 25.06.2007 20:41:13 Why Can I Not Browse For DFS Shares Using Windows Explorer? I installed a new Storage Server R2 server and created several namespaces. Then I created folders within those namespaces targeted to shared folders on the Storage Server and a few other member servers. I then added those folders to AD, specifying the namespace path. All of the above worked fine, but I cannot see the DFS shares under Entire Network. The only way for me to access the s... 4 25.06.2007 01:24:08 Missing Files from Replication Partner I have set up a DFS link with automatic replication between two servers. Both running Windows 2000 SP4. There were no problems on Day 1 but on Day 2, it was reported that files were being opened and worked on, but after the files were closed, they could not be found again.

When backing up this replicated data, what is the best way to prevent backup failures ? 1) Manually (or via batch file) stop the DFS-R service. 2) Set replication schedule to stop at eg 7pm prior to the backup starting at eg 8pm. 3) Do nothing !

We are looking at implementing DFS in a hot standby scenario for our users and shared data volumes accross our internal LAN. One question being, do backups effect replication? (As DFS looks at the USN of the file) We use HP data Protector, which presumably adds an update/flag to the files when they've been backed up. Will this cause an increase in traffic after files are backed up? A... 4 18.06.2007 13:30:37 DFS and FRS - Is this a good solution I am considering utilizing DFS and FRS for our office.
