I have an educational customer who wants to use DFS (for data mirroring purposes) within their site.
We were heavily biten by Windows 2000/2003 DFS the first time around.
The DFS engine couldnt cope with the fact a lesson would end, the students would move on to another lesson, login to a new machine.
The data would not get relicated in time and the new login would more often than not goto the mirror of the share and their work would be out of date.
The R2 DFS engine has been touted as being a total rewrite.
Has anyone run R2 DFS in a heavy use envorment. 200Gb+ upwards with 500-600+ users? and found it better than the original DFS engine?
We basically want to offer 2 NAS boxes (TB+) and mirror the data between them with zero failover time.
Cheers
Tim
