DFS on a Clustered Environment

Hi,

I have a Standalone DFS on a Windows 2003 R2 and I have to migrate the File
Server to a new structure over a Clustered Windows 2003.
At the first server I have lots of DFS Roots, over 500 I think, and I am
thinking on how to migrate the DFS structure to the Clustered Machines. The
documentation that I found pointed that a DFS Root will be a Resource at the
Cluster, but I have to create a Resource for each DFS Root that I have on the
first Server?

Thanks,

Fernando

Ya you have to create Resources for Root manually or you can use Cluster.exe
to create it cmd way or can use Cluster.exe to script it...
and then use below mentioned method to export and import Links and there
targets...
look at this KB:
224508 HOW TO: Migrate a Dfs Root Configuration to a Windows 2000 Cluster
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;224508

It talks about using dfsadmin.exe, try using dfsutil.exe with export and
import switches as appropriate...
