How do I replicate folder shares in Server 2008?
I am replicating a folder between two Server 2008 Standard servers using DFS. Some folders created on the primary server have shares on them and I can't see a way to have DFS replicate the settings. Is there a way to replicate share information as well?

Any thoughts on how this could be done?

have you thought about using domain based DFS shares?
domain based dfs shares don't replicate share rights only ntfs
why don't you set the share rights to everyone full and just use NTFS to secure.

I created a script that copies the registry and then stops and starts the approriate services. There are lots of share with different security. Might not be the best way, but that's where I'm at now. Thanks admin3k. Looks good so far.
REG COPY \\xxx\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Shares HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Shares /s /f
