Windows 2012 R2 Dedupe and DFS shares
We have DFS shares on servers in remote offices, do if I turn on Dedupe on the main servers at corp should I turn it on at the remote DFS servers? Has anyone seen issues with Dedupe and DFS?
Thanks

As long as you don't need to replicate TB of data then dedupe and DFSR work well together.

We do have TB's of data although not being replicated a lot I have seeded the drives. Lots of geology files and maps. On average maybe 100GB replication a day.
2012 R2 is supposed to handle up to 100TB DFSR but I had troubles with 30 TB of moderate data change rate (50 - 100 GB/day) with DFSR and dedupe. I ended up using a robocopy job to move the data daily for this share. But I also have about 5TB on DFSR and dedupe that is running without issue.
That's some anecdotal evidence. Not sure sure what the common experience is.

But you are using Dedupe right?
Yup. These scenarios are using dedupe.
