It's already in 2008 and 2008R2 [cid:image001.png@01CB2FF6.E0DB2670] From: Andrew S. Baker [mailto:asbz...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, 29 July 2010 7:20 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: DFS Quandary
It will be in the version after the version after that if you get a jump start on complaining now. -ASB: http://XeeSM.com/AndrewBaker On Wed, Jul 28, 2010 at 4:56 PM, Tom Miller <tmil...@hnncsb.org<mailto:tmil...@hnncsb.org>> wrote: Too bad there is no "folder exclusion" option, then I wouldn't have to do the work-around.

Yes. DFS Replication can replicate numerous folders between servers. Ensure that each of the replicated folders has a unique root path and that they do not overlap. For example, D:\Sales and D:\Accounting can be the root paths for two replicated folders, but D:\Sales and D:\Sales\Reports cannot be the root paths for two replicated folders. That would seem to indicate that you shouldn't, but not necessarily that you can't and doesn't spell out the apparent doom that would occur from doing so. I would imagine you could end up in some kind of replication loop based on the asynchronous and serial method of replication that this document also indicates is possible. That is just a guess, though.

Example: Current Config: Namespace = \\domain\share<file:///\\domain\share> Existing folder target = DirectoryA DirectoryA contains = Directory1, Directory2, Directory3 Existing Replication group = \\domain\share\DirectoryA<file:///\\domain\share\DirectoryA> New Config: Namespace = \\domain\share<file:///\\domain\share> Existing folder target = DirectoryA New folder target = Directory2 Existing replication group = \\domain\share\DirectoryA<file:///\\domain\share\DirectoryA> New replication group = \\domain\share\DirectoryA\Directory1<file:///\\domain\share\DirectoryA\Directory1> It's been awhile since I messed with DFS and that was on 2003, but it seems that should work. I don't have the ability to test however.... - Sean On Wed, Jul 28, 2010 at 9:43 AM, Tom Miller <tmil...@hnncsb.org<mailto:tmil...@hnncsb.org>> wrote: Doesn't work. The folder I want to use is a subfolder of an entire share I already have configuration in a replication group. You'd think there'd be an easy way to exclude a subfolder. I think what I'll have to do is move the folder to be in a namespace to a separate share.
