How do I set up DFS replication in a Win2k3 SP2 environment?
I have a WAN environment with 5 branch offices. I have all Win2k3 std and ent servers installed. How can I install and configure DFS with replication without upgrading to R2?

I have DFS set up. However, how do I know if replication is working or not?

OK, so I got it going...so far so good. However, I have abour 12GB to replicate over to another site using a t1 link. Should I use robocopy instead or will replication complete sometime before the weekend is over? I'm afraid that since it's still copying files and in a replicated state that it may gewt confused as people continue to work on the files.

I decided to use robocopy and I copied all my data to my site in Florida. However after doing so I set up replication between the two folders and it put the existing data that I just copied to Florida into a folder called NTFRS_PreExisting. I got scared and canceled the replication because I didn't want it to try to replicate the entire 12gb of data. Is this normal? Will it move it back when it is done or will it try to recreate everything?
