Hello,
I'm new to DFS, and trying to figure out a one-way DFS setup that isn't working properly(folders are not in sync). It is configured as this: A set of servers are supposed to replicate folders to one central server. One replication group for each server. (no namespace configured) It seems the only action taken to ensure one-way replication on each group, is the setting 'disable' the central server as 'sending member'.
I see a different approach to one-way replication described here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd759239.aspx (make folder read-only).
So my questions:
1.What is the preferred way to configure one-way replication? Is our initial setup even supposed to work?
2. Our central server is Windows 2008 R2, but the branch servers are 2008. I read one-way replication is supported only on 2008 R2 and 2012. Is our setup 'OS-valid' if our branch servers aren't 2008 R2 servers ?
