Either,
But there was/is and issue with VSS, I assume you are referring to "previous
versions". The "previous versions" tab can be missing if the DFS Root is on a
drive where there is no VSS configured.
See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/887189
There is a Hotfix there which I have not noticed before. I have used the
workaround though.
