| | Hi Jason,
| |
| | Thank you for getting back to me but perhaps I was not clear enough in
my
| | previous post. I read the articles that you referred me to but none of
| them
| | are helping me out.
| |
| | This is what I am trying to do:
| |
| | Replicate specific folders between to 2 2003 DC's over a WAN VPN.
| |
| | Here are my questions:
| |
| | 1. Where can I find a step by step of how to do this?
| |
| | 2. Lets say I choose folder \\server\share\test. I now want that
| folder
| | to replicate to \\server2\share\test. I can't find anything that tells
me
| | how to do this.
| |
| | 3. I want to be able to have automatic synching which it looks like
DFS
| and
| | FRS will accomplish. What are the shortcomings? I see that R2 will
have
| | some improvements but I don't know what.
| |
| | Thanks again for replying back to me.
| |
| |
| | John
