Quick question about DFS site selection...
Can you create a site in AD, add subnets, links..etc but not have a domain
controller in the site and have DFS site selection work? Trying to figure
out
if a DC is a requirement...
No, not a technical requirement but consider that if DFS
is a domain resource and access to that resource is critical
then DOMAIN AUTHENTICATION is also critical.
Chances are this will argue for a DC and a DNS server in
that site but you already have at least one server (the DFS)
so it might not even cost you a machine.
And you authentication will be more efficient too.
Any info appreciated...thanks,
