We have a SQL app that references a dfs path to store and access JPGs. The data is replicated between 2 2008 R2 servers, when the DFS ordering is set to over ride the order and prefer server 2, or using the unc path to either server, all works fine. When the over ride setting is not configured, or favors server 1, invalid path or filename errors occur. DFS seems to be working otherwise, replication is fine and other files can be accessed, There are a large number of files in the folders having the issue, close to 2 million pictures, not sure if that has anything to do with it, any ideas? Thanks.

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.

Windows Networking

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
