Re: AD Site Criteria and DFS

No problems with the appliance do you have any questions about it? I've
deployed many.

Thanks for the reply. I understand the auth and dns issues. Trying to
deploy
a Tacit Networks/Packeteer IShared WAFS appliance in a remote site and
want
it to be the link target for the dfs namespace but we might not be able to
put DC's in all sites. Was hoping that it wasn't a technical
requirement..Thanks to all who replied.

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,
