I want to move roaming profiles from our regular share into a DFS folder. The setup is straightforward. Two DC's, DFS replicate to each other, highly available roaming profiles. A sanity check that this is indeed a good thing would be nice.
I am also a bit concerned about DFS because the documentation is so verbose (i.e. makes my brain hurt figuring it all out). Scenario: DC1 and DC2 both are hosting DFS root \\testroot\root. They are hosting their own corresponding file shares (say \\DC1\root and \\DC2\root). Am I right in expecting that EITHER DC1 or DC2 can go offline, and \\testroot\root will still be available? Lastly, moving the profiles looks like you have to muck with ownership and permissions. I was able to brute-force move one this way (by forcefully claiming ownership and subsequent permission of the entire profile tree), but a more graceful method would be appreciated.
