I heard that you can copy the bulk over, i.e. CD or something and the replication will work it out.
Anyone know if this is true?

I thought about using DFS for my apps installed by GPO, also. But I have almost a Gig of applications and I was under the impression that DFS did not replicate large amounts of data very well, even if it doesn't change often?

I'm in the process of drawing a DFS tree for just that reason - eliminate the server name dependencies for shares. The only thing I see myself replicating is a small set of apps that are installed via GPO.

It seems that outside of the FRS / replication issues, using DFS would
be a good way of virtualizing the storage location of the profiles. If you used a DFS root to designate your storage location and you needed to migrate/replace this location, you could update the DFS root
without having to modify any user attributes. Basically make the management of the profile data a backroom thing.
Using FRS would make the whole setup somewhat ugly.

It is indeed NOT a good thing.
I would not do this.
FRS is not meant to replicate this type of dynamic data (profiles) you may experience data loss or perhaps FRS breakdowns (depending on size,
number of files, and amount of change per file).
Clarification on the data loss - this would not be due to FRS or 'corrupt'
files, but rather the natural way FRS works - which is on a last writer wins basis.

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.
