Re: Folder Redirection over a slow WAN

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Crina,

Thank you for replying. I am now wondering if I have enough bandwidth to set
up bidirectional replication so users from the main office can have their
documents available to them at the branches through Folder Redirection or
Roaming Profiles? If I understand replication correctly, it is possible
that a change to a document by a user at the main location may not be
immediately available at the branch depending on the replication schedule?

Thanks,
Bob
