RE: [ActiveDir] Domain Based DFS
Thanks Steve, We don't really have a branch office scenario here, so the only reason I might use data replication is to help with the initial migration of data from old servers to new servers. After that, my hope is that we can use SAN mirror copies to achieve the data replication. I think the best way to view this design is that we want the logical layer to be as abstracted as possible from the physical data as possible. Even setting up a replication schedule will have some ties to the physical data. The domain based DFS is to provide high availability and failover for file services to MSFT clients. Layering it into a standalone DFS, is to allow MSFT clients to access that data using a Mac or Unix host. Basically the Standalone DFS is a service layer network interface for Macs and Unix. Yes the path will change slightly. But it is forgivable. Also my hope is that this also gives me flexibility to disable SMB signing if needed, etc. And not require the UNIX or AD host to bind to the AD. On the issue of last write, we plan to use Sharepoint in the future for collaborative services. We would love to be able to tie in home directories, and department shares into this as well... but it might be better to have a separation of these functions too. More to come...

Now that I've stated the obvious - organising your data in a logical fashion can have far reaching implications (good and bad) for your staff, but I'm all for making it easier for them (starts to save on seven copies of the same file!). We recently implemented a company wide domain-based DFS root, which we map as Z:\ drive. All teams have their folders in this, located local to the team but available company wide, and replicated where the team is physically distributed. Their home folders are a part of their team structure, and are replicated (if the team folder is replicated) as that is a part of the team access to data. I would think that the only reason you'd normally replicated the home folder would be for offsite (or even onsite) backup purposes. Profiles could be replicated, and would be helpful if you have a lot of staff moving about sites and you use roaming profiles. I could foresee problems with replicating profiles, but I am confident they'd be no-brainers to solve. Including UNIX and Mac clients in accessing a DFS root (standalone or otherwise)... I would have thought is simply a DNS and installing the relevant access to services issue. Sadly, as with DFS (in both versions), it is pretty intrinsically AD linked, so there is no way around (that I can see) NOT getting these other clients to bind to the AD for access or authentication... For a domain-based root. A stand-alone root is obviously a little bit of a different beast, but it takes away the benefit of the DFS root being server independent, if you catch my meaning. Everything is possible - not everything is permissible. What you've suggested will *probably* work, but what sort of administrative overhead do you want to bring down on yourself and your team? As always, the KISS principle applies, even with Mac and UNIX clients, but it sounds like your requirements and rationale for the replication aren't a simple main-site-to-branch-office situation. Obviously be aware of the last person that saves wins issue with multi access to replicated files, although in DFSR if there is a conflict like this at least it now has the smarts to store the file that lost in a folder for recovery on the server that resolve the conflict. Lots to look at and consider when planning a good DFS structure. It's one of those things that is nasty to recover from AFTER the fact if it went in dodgy. My $0.02 inc GST, FWIW...

RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Replicating Print Queues To Multiple (40+) Servers via Script of Software?
What about using the built-in Citrix printer tools? Are you talking about copying the printer drivers, or actually publishing printers? If you are talking about printer drivers so that remote printing works, then the Citrix Console can do all that. Put the driver on one, and tell it that the rest of the servers need the driver too. If you are saying you want to set up 40 network printers on 40 servers, then I would say you need some servers specifically set up as print servers, and then you can set users to connect to the shared printers automatically.

[ActiveDir] OT: Replicating Print Queues To Multiple (40+) Servers via Script or Software?
Due to a restriction from the application, every print queue must reside on each Citrix server as an LPR print queue. I have in some cases 60 replicas of the print queue across 60 servers. Another question, is there a util that will create LPR printer ports? I can't seem to find one.

RE: [ActiveDir] Vista GPO
The Central Store gives you some nice features. First, it gives you a central place for all GP administrators to get their ADMXs from. That way you can control which ones get loaded for a given GPO. 2nd, it gives you a central point of version control, which is not something you had with each GPO storing its own copy of ADMs in pre-Vista days. However, the one downside to the Central Store from my perspective is that, once it exists, all GP editors in the domain will refer to it. That means there is no granularity anymore in terms of which ADMXs appear for a given GPO. So, in the ADM days (you know, long ago, like a month ago :)) you could load one or ten ADMs into a GPO based on your needs. In the ADMX world, once the Central Store is populated, all GPOs in the domain load all ADMXs in the Central Store and you can't change that unless you want to revert back to using ADMs stored in each GPO. So, good and bad--mostly good I think for most shops.
