| All,
I need some input on DFS.
I am trying to set up DFS on a file server, well in reality
two. I am configuring server1 with a standalone root, when asked for the
host server I enter server2 and select the share drive I want to
use. I then create DFS links to subfolders and they create just fine.
The problem:
When I try to access the links I created I can™t
Access Denied even though I share the folders in advance with
appropriate permissions, and of course at this point the security tab from the
shares disappears. So I can™t make changes, and when I go and try to open
from DFS I get an error Failed to launch explorer home at \\pathname. I also rebooted both servers
and when they come up the DFS root is gone from server1 but remains on server 2
along with all the DFS links.
Please let me know what I am doing wrong.
Thanks,
Juan | | | |

| Additionally.. there are many catches with DFS when you
start replicating files (if you were intending to). As a (R1 speak) root link,
it is pretty simple, however you have to ensure you have your NTFS and share
permissions set correctly before you create the DFS root and additional links or
folders, etc, etc, etc.
If you are planning to replicate files, then MAKE SURE you
are running R2 otherwise you'll have all sorts of file replication traumas using
FRS... I love DFSR!

| Steve,
Happy to pick up the hijack...
Bad news - upgrading to R2 introduces DFSR and the "new"
DFS as a whole new ball game. Old and existing DFS/FRS roots will continue as
they are. If you wish them to use the new system, the old one should be deleted
and created using the new DFS console.
As for a guide... nothing that I have found, but that
doesn't mean one doesn't exist (I usually do not look to hard for things like
that, but that is just me). I do not believe there is a "magic" conversion from
one to the other... yet...
The new DFS is much more intuitive than the original, so it
should be pretty straight forward.
Thanks! :)

| for some reason I missed this message
nope that will not work
in short:
you can create the DFS root on any server and it does not
need to be the server hosting the data. DFS root servers are servers that manage
the DFS namespace (root, links)
To create the root you need to have a shared folder on some
server. THAT folder structure (as it will be a structure as soon as you create
DFS links) represents the DFS namespace and does not host any data. The DFS
links are references for a common path to one or multiple servers that host the
same data
stand-alone roots:
* stored in registry
* are not fault tolerant (unless hosted on a
cluster)
* do not support NTFRS replication
* supports DFS-R replication on R2
domain roots:
* stored in AD
* are fault tolerant
* support NTFRS replication
* supports DFS-R replication on
R2
for more information see:
DFS

I am trying to create
a DFS server (if there is such a thing)
On server one I
create a DFS root called testdfs, it then asks for the location of host server
for this root. I then enter server2 name. They are two separate
servers and the reason behind it is so that users connect to server1 and not
server2, but I guess this is not possible (as it is not
working).
How would I set up a

Don™t I need to
configure it on the server that has the data?

ConfigurationImportance:

All,
I need some input on
DFS.
I am trying to set up DFS on a
file server, well in reality two. I am configuring server1 with a
standalone root, when asked for the host server I enter server2 and select
the share drive I want to use. I then create DFS links to subfolders
and they create just fine.
The
problem:
When I try to access the links I
created I can™t Access Denied even though I share the folders in advance
with appropriate permissions, and of course at this point the security tab
from the shares disappears. So I can™t make changes, and when I go and try
to open from DFS I get an error Failed to launch explorer home at \\pathname. I also rebooted both servers
and when they come up the DFS root is gone from server1 but remains on
server 2 along with all the DFS links.
Please let me know what I am
doing wrong.
Thanks,
Juan
