Active directory infrastructure and DFS file share configuration
Hi EE,
Scope
I am planning to create a new 2012 active directory infrastructure with two domain controller, one primary DC and other one secondary DC. I need install DFS /DFSR server role in both server and 2nd DC server need to use for DFS replication server.
Please help me out following area.
1) We are planning to use two identical HP ProLiant DL 360 G9 server with 16GB memory and 2TB SAS. Can we install DFS role in DC? Please share with me best practice documents, URL etc.
2) Are these above server configuration or resource sufficient for connecting 50 client computers?
Regards,

Oh!! I missed the point that you have only 1 SAS drive on the Server. You need to have at least 2 drives to start with Mirroring.
DFS doesn't have any dependence on the RAID levels. You can try the DFS steps from the article that I shared. let me know if you still have any questions.

Thank you for your quick response. I am using 1 SAS drive and make a partition as SAS volume for DFS file share . I would like to have multiple DFS shares for accessing different AD groups.
Please explain to me what is the best solution for hardware configuration ( Raid level , drive configuration etc)
