I had looked at DFS in the past. The problem then was DFS support in Mac OS X clients. It is less of an issue now, and I should re-evaluate it.

Thanks, Brian Desmond [email protected] w – 312.625.1438 | c – 312.731.3132 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Matthew W. Ross Sent: Friday, July 25, 2014 1:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] Consolidating odd-ball fileservers Hey everyone. I have a few odd-ball servers that are all acting as file servers. I want to consolidate them to a single server, but I wouldn't mind keeping the server names the same to keep everything looking the same for the end users. My simplistic example: Server1 with 'drivers' and 'scratch' share Server2 with 'apps' share. I want to make a single server that will respond weather you go to \\server1\drivers or \\server2\apps. There are no collisions in the share namespaces. I could make the server a single windows PC, and enter the DNS entry for both of them to point to the same system. Would that be sufficient? --Matt Ross Ephrata School District
