Ok, I was under the impression from reading that DFS could be arranged to always point to a root1, and clients would only "failover" to root2 if root1 could not be found - sounds to me like that isn't going on after all

I would not do this. FRS is not meant to replicate this type of dynamic data (profiles) you may experience data loss or perhaps FRS breakdowns (depending on size, number of files, and amount of change per file). Clarification on the data loss - this would not be due to FRS or 'corrupt' files, but rather the natural way FRS works - which is on a last writer wins basis. my .02 -steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "Malachi Burke" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, June 02, 2004 8:16 PM Subject: [ActiveDir] Moving Roaming profiles > I want to move roaming profiles from our regular share into a DFS > folder.
