I have 1 Windows 2008 R2 server in Site A running Domain Integrated DFS in 2008 mode with a Single Namespace with a large number of DFS Targets all configured to point to a share on our NetApp SAN.
Step 1. I want to initially copy this configuration data across to a 2012 server in Site A preserving all the configuration data.
Step 2. I need to mirror this configuration to a 2nd server in Site B so we dont have a single point of failure for the DFS namespace.
For Example. A user in Site B would "connect" to the DFS server in Site B, but if that site was down, it would attempt to connect to the Server in site A and vice versa.
Note im not interesting in replicating actual Data here, just the configuration. Our NetApp SANS have mirroring which take care of that.
Is this possible?
Many thanks.
