We have three W2K3 SP1 domains and WAN separated regions in a couple of them. When deploying software, hotfixes and such I want to go to the 'distribution point' for that domain/region so as not to traverse the WAN for downloads. Each distribution point needs to mirror the others. Each region has an app server where we maintain these distribution points for downloads, patches and such and currently is managed manually as far as keeping each server identical to the other. I'm not familiar with DFS other than what is and does and have not configured or used it. Robocopy seems okay but also has a lot of configuration to deal with. DFS seems to be the best but wanted to see what the experts thought. My concern is if I create the DFS hierarchy I'd still be pointed to one server for the files. In reading the documentation I see multiple roots can be established which I'm hoping would provide access to each regional distribution point and still replicate the latest uploads from one point to all others. Appreciate any feedback.
