DFS - one site not showing up in referrals.
Working on my first implementation of DFS. It's pretty simple: two sites, site A and site B. Both have replication working and the shares are showing up. The issue is that every time someone tries to access the share, it is pulled from site B. When looking at the properties of the folder in the share, under the DFS tab there is only one referral in the list.... site B. I'm not certain if this is an issue within configuration of AD Sites and Services or on the DFS side. I must be missing something.
Thoughts to get me moving in the right direction?
Thanks

Adding the additional target was the key. That and I was incorrect that I needed to create a mirror. I found that when I created the namespace on the one server, the other server would be able to see it by adding it to the view. I tried to configure two namespaces on different servers with the same name. Everything appears to be working well!
Thanks!

Not all the servers will list in the DFS referrals, if you have more number of DFS server in a location and only couple of servers will listed

In my situation, site A and site B both have domain controllers. In the step by step instructions it mentions setting up a DFS server. Does this mean that one domain controller is setup and the second just joins? Or do I have to mirror the configuration on both domain controllers? I started by following the steps on both domain controllers so that they were a mirror. I'm thinking now that was incorrect. Is is correct that I would only setup DFS and DFS-R on the main server at site A and only setup DFS-R on site B?
