The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Active Directory, Group Policy, Folder Redirection, DFS, Intellimirror, Logon Scripts?

Asked by MetsysNimda in Windows 2000 Operating System

Tags: active, dfs, directory, group, intellimirror

Here is the scenario:
Two Classrooms with client computers on the following IP Subnet configuration:
Room3 131.107.103.1XX/24 Configured as an OU in AD
Room8 131.107.103.2XX/24 Configured as an OU in AD
Servers and domains are as follows:
Server1.domain.com 131.107.103.100 Server2.domain.com 131.107.103.3 (don't ask why)
Currently, all users have a drive mapping assigned through a logon script from when the domain was NT4.0, Recently the domain has been upgraded to Windows2000.
AD is fine and works, DNS is fine and works. Here is the problem.
We want to minimize traffic between the two rooms, but keep the same IP configuration.
Is there a way to have DFS/Intellimirror set up so that users from one OU/Classroom only seek out their own local server that is in their room, and not travel to the other room unless their server is unavailable. Also, there is the need to have the data available on a day to day basis on both servers. In the event that one server is down the other can compensate.
Is this too much to accomplish without IP/Site based breakdown? Is there a way to perform the task through logon scripts/Group policies? Am I just living in a dream world?

Additionally, the My Documents is currently redirected to the mapped drive, but will be changed to a UNC path with username variable when a solution is created.
