Than you guys for your quick responses.
This list rocks! I have noticed problems with DFS and
roaming profiles on the test domain that I have but I wasn’t sure if it
was because of my lack of knowledge. As of now, I am beginning to use RoboCopy
to where I will have the job run every 3 hours or maybe 6 hours. On the test
domain, it looks good so far and I am about to begin using it on the production
domain if I do not hear any objects. I was possibly thinking of having it run
as part of a log off script. Would there be any objections to using
RoboCopy? From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jorge de Almeida Pinto 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 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 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
