Last week I sent the below question to this thread. I
apologize for having to resend it but my mail server experience problems and I
am not sure if there were any replies to my question. If there were any posts
to my question, would someone please resubmit it to the list so that I can read
it? Below is what I previously wrote. Thank you. Edwin Currently I am
working in a test environment with 2 Win2K3 DC’s and 1 Win2K3 member
server (all standard Edition). The member server is intended to be a File
server where a users roaming profiles are stored. On our production
environment has this same exact setup. The reason why I
want to use DFS is because the user profiles are stored on a single IDE
drive. The company did not want to spend more money on RAID. Before
you ask, “Yes, the OS is RAID’ed. It is just the IDE drive I
am immediately concerned about. In the test
environment I setup DFS and all appears to be good. Now I create a user
and setup the profile to point to the path \\ad.testdomain.com\sharedfiles$\%username%
where \\ad.testdomain.com\sharedfiles$\
is the DFS root that I established. When I attempt to
login, I am presented with an error message stating that the default profile
will be used and any changes made to the profile will be lost because
permission is denied. My question is if
this is the way that DFS is intended to be? From what I gather, I am only
able to write to the DFS root of the file server if I call the machine that
directly i.e. \\testserver\sharedfiles$ and have replication take over from
there. Shouldn’t I be able to write to the DFS root directly? Thank you all for
your responses. Edwin |
