I currently have a couple Windows 2000 servers set up with DFS shares. &nbsp;I'm attempting to add a new server. &nbsp;The problem is, the new server keeps assigning the wrong drives for the staging areas. &nbsp;For example<br />
//Share 1<br />
Root &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;: p:\<br />
Stage &nbsp; &nbsp;: o:\frs-staging<br />
///Share 2<br />
Root &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;: o:\<br />
Stage &nbsp; &nbsp;: p:\frs-staging<br />
<br />
This is a problem because one of the shares is on a partition much larger than the other. &nbsp;While it would work for share 1 to use the share 2 drive for staging, the share 1 drive is much too small to be able to stage share 2 properly. &nbsp;I cannot figure out how to change the location of the staging directories. &nbsp;Thanks.

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
