Hi..
this are all in virtual setup for test and learning. I setup 2 win server 2008 and 1 win xp as client .
Server 1 name - Mars: installed Active directory (first domain), domain name universe.com. Installed dfs and configured namespace and added folder target. Every thing works from client as expected.
Installed server 2 name - Moon as backup domain controller. Active directory users and computers everything synced good.
In Mars added another target and setup replication. as shown in image.(couldnt get original but this is how it looks)
technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732863%28v=ws.10%29 .first image.
I also did "add name server"--> Moon ---from Mars
Every thing works fine as expected but when i disconnect the network cable of my Mars then i cannot view namespace in Moon, although client pc can browse DFS.
My Shared folders became fault tolerant OK, but i cannot manage my namespace from my second server, why is that.
Regards.
