Thanks Omar...your input is appreciated. Presently I'm not troubleshooting any problems, but rather am particularly interested in the fact that this pertains to SYSVOL. I can't help wondering if this should almost be considered a "best practice" in that regard. I guess that was the primary reason for my original post :-) -DaveC ________________________________ From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Omar Droubi Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2006 3:34 PM To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Re: DFS referral order David, if you can upgrade your DFS servers to Windows Server R2 you can benefit from many of the new features for branch office. The problem that I assume you are encountering are very common amongst Win2k and win2k3 DFS systems. The Win2k3 R2 DFS is worth upgrading to if your company utilizes and wants to continue and use DFS.

(maybe it's already listed somewhere now and I missed that too though!) Thanks for any thoughts, -DaveC This email was sent to you by Reuters, the global news and information company.
