<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Currently I have one 2003R2 Domain Controller with DFS installed - all of our clients point to the DFS for all shared files. &nbsp;I am adding a new 2008R2 file server and a new 2008 Domain Controller. &nbsp;I have forest and domain prepped to 2008 active directory.<br />
I need guidance on how to move all of the files and their security to the new 2008R2 File server. &nbsp;Then I plan on removing DFS from the Old 2003R2 file server.<br />
Do i need to set up DFS on the new 2008 Domain Controller or on the 2008R2 File Server?<br />
<br />
Once all this is migrated I want to know if I can set up replications to offsite 2003R2 Domain Controllers.<br />
<br />
Thank you in advance
