:-), I forgot to mention, the desktops on which I checked, site DC is always listed as first choice in DFS. So I have to guess "feature" is already enabled.
Also, that KB says, it is applicable to Windows 2003 gold , and we have SP1 on all servers. That also would mean that "feature" is already included in SP1 and is enabled. -- Kamlesh On 12/2/06, David Cliffe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Understood :-) But what about the "feature" that can be used with the more recent versions? It's described at the bottom of the article (you'd have to modify the registry on each applicable DC). I wonder if that would help in your case? -DaveC ------------------------------ *From:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *Kamlesh Parmar *Sent:* Friday, December 01, 2006 12:29 PM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* Re: [ActiveDir] Bulk of client going to PDC I checked the file version of dfssvc.exe and dfs.sys on my site DCs, they are higher than the one mentioned in the KB article.
