Server 2003 Functional Domain DFS Replication Problem (Files being moved to conflicted folder for no reason)
- by Az
We have 2 Windows 2003 servers configured with a DFS namespace and we are running into problems with the redirected profiles we have setup. Basically, one server is the FSMO master for all roles, and we have another DC that is the DFS namespace primary server. We have profile redirection setup using the \dfsnamespace\userprofile formula.
The FSMO master DC locks up occasionally (don't ask :), and when it does, and we bring it back up... All of the user profiles hosted on the DFS namespace get overwritten when a user logs in. The current profile gets moved to the conflicting and deleted items folder.
This strikes me as really odd considering the whole point of using DFS was to provide some redundancy in case one server went down. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!
