I have two servers. For simplicity; ServerA and ServerB.
I setup A Domain Based DFS Root on ServerA. ServerA is not a domain controller. ServerA already had a share being used for file serving, so i just used that share. I then moved X, Y, Z folders from ServerA's share to ServerB's new Share. I then Setup Links to ServerB's Shares Under the DFS Root.
I was able to map a drive to the domain.com\DFS_Sharename. All works well. I then thought. Hmm i need some redundancy. So opend the MMC, and created a new Root Target Link on ServerB with a different share name than i was using previuosly. The sytsem let me do it and when i look at \\ServerB\Sharename, it matches Server A's DFS Setup.
The problem is that now, all the users Drive letters are mapped to only the moved files i first placed on ServerB. So half the folders are missing. (Because half are on one, half are on the other) Does this make sense?
