Dear all, in a Windows 2003 Environment, and undergoing some infrastructure changes.
Our laptop users rely heavily on synchronised offline home directories, and we will be having one office which will work as a satellite from the main data centre. We discussed the concept of simply having one file server in the satellite office, but the 'perfect world' solution is for users to sync their H drive when they are in the satellite office, and when they are in the same offices as the data centre. This got me thinking about DFS, which is not something I have played about with too much. My initial read makes it seem like it could be the ticket, but with one major doubt. With DFS Home directories would be provisioned to the satellite office, but all other functions would be done with RDP. So, if a user was out of one office or another for a long spell (which does happen) and then plugged in, their H drive would sync. If they went in to an RDP session during that sync is there a way to prevent them corrupting the sync from within the RDP session, as they would have H drive access in this session as well? Does that make sense? Any real world deployment stories of DFS for H drives crossing multiple sites would be greatly appreciated, good and bad!
