Hi Everyone
Currently all of our file servers are running Server 2008R2. We rely heavily on DFSR to have local copies of the core network shares in the main international offices for performance (c. 1TB each).
I'm now at the point where I have some old hardware to replace and am considering moving to Server 2016 so it can run for the next several years without being touched. The replication hub is in the USA replicating out as far as China.
My Questions are
1) Can Server 2016 happily DFRS replicate with a central replication hub Server running 2008R2?
2) If Yes, can this work with only 2008R2 domain controllers (2008R2 forest functional level running)?
Thanks in advance
Mark
