RE: DFS replication w/ Folder Redirection + Roaming User Profiles

Hi ,

Check following article:

The Open File - Security Warning dialog box is displayed when you try to
silently install a hotfix or an update by using a Visual Basic script in
Windows XP Service Pack 2
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=889815

Hope this helps.

Hi Vincent,
Thanks for the info. One problem I'm running into is when I shortcut to
\\DomainName, I get the Windows XP SP2 "Open File - Security Warning"
indicating that my "Publisher" is an "Unknown Publisher". I did not have
this problem when I had my shortcuts to \\ServerName e.g. \\Server-1 as
opposed to \\MyServer.local

Hi,

As we know, XP Client Roaming Profiles using DFS and FRS are not
supported
for the following reason: Roaming profiles that are replicated via FRS
to
multiple link targets might lead to data loss (due to FRS conflict
resolution) if a user logs in to multiple workstations, makes changes
to
the same file on different targets, and then logs off both
workstations.¡±

In R2,DFS-R might be faster and DFS is smarter about using servers, and

the likelihood of a conflict is lower.Data loss can still occur.
Because it
is not really merge changes, but replicate only the blocks that change

Hi,
I've two Windows 2003 R2 servers. One is the PDC and the other the
BDC on
the same domain. The two servers are linked via cable modem and I
want to
allow any user to log onto any machine at either location and find
their
profiles and "my documents" regardless of where they are.

I found that the user couldn't download their Roaming User Profile
(RUP)
if
they logged on via the server that didn't have a copy of it as the
cable
modem link was too slow.

I figured I could use the new R2 DFS namespaces and replication to
keep
duplicate copies of the RUP and redirected "my documents" on each
server.

I also changed the URL's from the \\ServerName to the \\DomainName
so
the
user can find their RUP's and offline files on whichever server they
are
closest to.

I am running into various problems with this technique, but rather
than
try
to resolve these individual problems, I'm wondering if what I am
attempting
to do is:
1. Supported
2. The best way to accomplish what I need (considering I using a 1MB
upload/
3MB download cable modem between sites).
