Here is the setup: - I'm not using DFSR. Old school FRS on Windows 2003. - Two servers at different locations. - Main server has Active Directory, other server is a member server. - DFS replication is setup for both servers, but not configured. The link is not very good and we don't want the data being replicated for this folder. In user properties, I have configured the home folder to connect to drive J with the path of \\domain.com\Dfs\home\username. Dfs is the root in the DFS console. The problem is that if a user is created on the AD server, everything works fine if they log into that site. When they log in, they see their home folder. If they log into the member server, they see the DFS structure rather than their home folder. The reason is that the home folder structure is not replicated to the member server. If the user is created at the member server site, the home folder structure is good here, but not at the AD site. Without enabling replication, is there any way to have the home folder show up at both locations? The goal is for the user to have access to the home folder at the site where they log in. Thanks
I think I understand what you mean, but I don't know of a way to do that with DFS. What you might do is use Robocopy. Robocopy can copy the folder structure and permissions, which sounds like what you want. Anthony, http://www.airdesk.com
