So we have recently implemented DFS between a few sites and a couple of lingering issues.
1. We have a DFS Server at Site A and a DFS Server in Site B. Workstations in Site A are connected to Site A - we have had a few issues where there drive access would be slow and went into their mapped drives and it had Site B as active even though it should be Site A. I am not sure yet what caused this - I think that part of it was a VSS Shadow Copy on the file server caused enough slowness that it cut over to the Site B.
- Can this threashold to cut away from the home site DFS server be controlled? I don't want the workstations cutting mapped drives over to the remote site DFS server just because of a small latency for something like this.
2. Our users are not local administrators on their workstations - can you allow them permission to set the active site on the DFS tab?
3. Is there a powershell script that can output the backlog file count to text file so that we can monitor with splunk? Doesn't seem like there are any good tools for DFS 2012 R2 to keep an eye on DFS
