Within a lots of DFS tutorial, I found this one is best.

this is the best explanation for replication i found.. thank you so much

My boy, I cant even begin to explain how glad i am people like you exist. Im about 30 hours deep into this lab and you saved my bacon. Thank you.

Thanks so much, the best video on this topic by far.

step by step, as simple as it gets, well done 👍

Excellent step by step explanation. Thank you!

Thank you for this Patrick! I have 3 sites that I needed this setup for. Just finished configuring all this up. Just waiting on the replication to begin before we remove the individual mapped drives to the server and roll out the domain share.

Thanks for explaining such a simple way great work... 👍

This was a great Video ! Thank you so much. Made DFS really easy to understand and setup!

Grate Job Bro..

Thank you..

I love how you sound like TheNewBoston.

brilliant.

very cool

thanks a lot for the great explanation. I have a question....what happens if we delete the files in server1 (primary)?

Thanks alot, however should I use namespaces, or could I go directly for the replication

Thanks for the great tutorial. I have a question, what if I have folders within a folder, do I need to set the permission to all the folders?

Great video. Can this be done with one of the locations set on a NAS? Or with something else than DFS.

Love this video. Very well done on all levels. Have a question for you. I am going to do this on a web server, so, working with the InetPub\wwwroot folder Would this be the route to go, in order to copy over all data that has changed between the servers? (I am learning all this, so it is all being done on an Intel Test Server with VMware, running many Virtual machines, on one system. This summer, this will all become a reality with new servers, but right now, I am just trying to learn as much as possible to make sure I am fully prepared and ready for the task, for when the new Dell servers arrive. I am looking at having, at the last, 3 physical servers, with about 4 VM web servers per machine, so, I will always have a backup somewhere, within the mix of systems, in case one of the 3-servers goes down, there will be another server there to take its place in the pool.) So, any information and advice, helpful links, or more of your excellent videos, will be very appreciated.) Wayne

Hello, this video is pretty good but I'm having an issue when I add the 2nd target folder. When I do so, it says the folder couldn't be validated. I made sure both folders on the servers had the same name and permissions and I also restarted the DFS Replication service but with no luck

do you use the same principle between two trusted domains?

Im migrating data from one to another. How do I stop the synchronization and delete the old path without affecting the new one? Last time I test I deleted the old folder target and it deleted the both. Advice please.

Hi, nice video however i have few questions if you can answer. Serve1 was primary server, if we will make any changes from server2 will the changes will be replicated. in case we have multiple servers and primary goes down. Have you uploaded more videos of DFSR, i.e reporting, backlogs, troubleshooting related. If yes, please share link. Thanks

Great VIdeo!!! Patrick... I could use this method to "upgrade" the servers to 2019 I mean if I replicate the 2016 server to a 2019 after that I could deleted the 2016 without problem?

hi what if the the file FInanceData are being modified at both side and replication takes place? Will there be a conflict?

Very helpful tutorial. when I setup DFS /R the target drive selected was C:, I don't know how it happened may be my ADD? If I want to change it to drive D: what steps do I take? anyone???

How to do reverse replication ? server2 to server1 for same path ?

Hi..i have a problem in making a replicating folder. the error is(There are insufficient permission to create the replication group). and i cannot add my account in delegate management permission in replication...

at 13:56 When i Click To My Server To Open That Folder..It Give Error Location is not available..Why is that so..

Thanks for your video. Is it possible if server1 down and client start using edit on server2 but when server1 up then server1 can synce from server2 or not ? thanks

Well created just the way You did.. but my second server is not getting the same files from server 1. reply ASAP

Thanks for the video ...Can please help me to make it from Bi Direction to Unidirectional.. as I want to replicate from primary to secondary only .. not from secondary to primary.

May I ask you?Can I use powershell or CLI to create a replication group to synchronize the share folders between the two server ? because i need to use CLI way to complete my school project🤣

Can you please suggest what all ports are required between server 1 and server 2 if they are not DC and are in different network.

Great video. Is it possible to migrate a fileserver to a new fileserver in this way and then shut down the old fileserver? Will end users lose mapped drives? Thanks!

Do we need 2pcs for this practical I'm on the screen for this practical plzz tell me

how do you stop replications?

Please my namespace type is Stand alone by default and the preview reads

Will the permission policies be replicated also?

Hey, hope you will see this message. thanks for your video. i was wondering if you have and advise i accidentally deleted The DFS configuration Data queried by DFSUtil is stored within the following location within Active Directory: CN=Dfs-Configuration,CN=System,DC= Please help.Thanks

Can you do this on between SVR2019 and SVR2022?

can explain ftp sites

what happens when server 1 goes down? then the users wont be able to access the dfs share?

how we can do on Cloud bas server I mean one server is hosted in Canada one in USA with live ip

Wellexplained path

Each Folder Target MUST be on a different server. Can't have 2 targets on the same server.

All looks great until one day replication stops and you need to troubleshoot it. I am taking over multiple customers with incorrect dns and network setup's and recovering dfs replication is always problematic...

Very confusing u made it unnecessary large with lot of words not needed
