It works on a fast link no problemo. Just jack the size of your staging
directory up.

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Moving Roaming profiles

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.
