Hi,
See also
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/overview/dfsfaq.mspx Here they also advise against using roaming profiles with DFS. It is also not supported Regards, Jorge From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rimmerman, Russ Sent: woensdag 24 november 2004 14:32 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Roaming Profiles and DFS All I can add is putting our roaming profiles on DFS was a
nightmare and I have gone back to not having it on DFS. I now use
%variables% instead. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Edwin Sent: Wednesday, November 24, 2004 7:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Roaming Profiles and DFS 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
