was the distaste DFS or FRS? If FRS, I have to say that I too have not been as
thrilled as one could possibly be and that is simply in terms of policy and
netlogon share replication, I am shellshocked from it now. However it's all
fixed in the next hotfix or SP though... :oP

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Possibly OT - DFS vs 3rd party DRJeffrey,I personally am not a big fan of Dfs - mainly due to a very bad experience in the early days of Windows 2000 (April 2000). It has gotten better, but is not really a great solution to bank your DR process on. IMHO, depending on what your bandwidth is like, the move with Windows Server 2003 might justify itself with Volume Shadow Services. I've been working closely with VSS and primarily, Volume Shadow Copy, and IMHO, it Rocks!Rick Kingslan MCSE, MCSA, MCT

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]I have a customer looking for a disaster recovery solution for their Active Directory domain. They have one site on each coast and want to replicate the data. A VPN is available to each location. I was looking at either DoubleTake or a Veritas solution (Volume Replicator or Storage Replicator) but am having a hard time justifying using this over the built-in DFS. Anyone with any thoughts on this?
