I don't think that will work. In my experience, if DFS finds files that were already there when replication starts, they get moved to a "preexisting" folder and then ignored. Even if it's an entire copy of the DFS share from before FRS got confused. No prizes for guessing how I know this. :) I haven't tried this with DFS-R, though, so if you're => 2008, maybe give that a try. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
