Users using different DFS servers and losing data

I have a situation where some users are reporting that their documents are getting overwritten by other users. This is because some users are using the primary server, and others are using the secondary. This means that 2 users can open the same file at once, and the last one to save, overwrites the other... once it replicates of course.

How do I force all users to use the same primary file server? They can't even manually change which server because it won't let non-administrators do this.

Thanks!

 
You need to target only one of the servers for access. Disable the link to one of the servers....
