I have setup DFSR in 2 of my file servers running Windows 2003 Server R2, each server is in a different site.  I would like to know how to setup a rule or message to pop up when a user tries to open up a file that is currently being used or edited or viewed by another user, to say that the file is currently in use it will be only in a "Read Only" state.  

How do I control file conflicts when using DFSR ?

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
