Anyone using DFS?
Hi all:
I am reading the MS propaganda (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserv...rview/dfs.mspx ) on the Distributed file system and it sounds very good. Currently I have to access directories on servers across the country over saturated leased lines.
DFS sounds like it would help out and speed things up for us - we have 2000/2003 servers on both ends that are in the same domain.
I was wondering if anyone that uses DFS could tell me:
1. approximately what sort of overhead will this cause on the servers and for the network.
2. How are conflicts handled if multiple users modify the same file?
3. How difficult is this to implement?
Anybody have experience with DFS they could pass on to me?

I have set it up in a Test Network...I think that it works pretty good...but I've been told that it takes forever and a day to replicate the files to all locations...other than that don't know that much about it.
Just tested once and that was it.
