Dfs namespace replication tool

Creating multiple replicated folders in a single replication group simplifies the process of deploying replicated folders because the topology, schedule, and bandwidth throttling for the replication group are applied to each replicated folder.

To deploy additional replicated folders, you can use Dfsradmin. Each replicated folder has unique settings, such as file and subfolder filters, so that you can filter out different files and subfolders for each replicated folder. The replicated folders stored on each member can be located on different volumes in the member, and the replicated folders do not need to be shared folders or part of a namespace. However, the DFS Management snap-in makes it easy to share replicated folders and optionally publish them in an existing namespace.

Using DFS Replication on a virtual machine in Azure has been tested with Windows Server; however, there are some limitations and requirements that you must follow. To learn about how to get started with Azure virtual machines, visit the Microsoft Azure web site. The Add Roles and Features Wizard appears. Skip to main content.

Privacy policy. You can use DFS Replication to keep the contents of folder targets in sync so that users see the same files regardless of which folder target the client computer is referred to.

In the console tree, under the Namespaces node, right-click a folder that has two or more folder targets, and then click Replicate Folder. Configuration changes are not applied immediately to all members except when using the Suspend-DfsReplicationGroup and Sync-DfsReplicationGroup cmdlets. The new configuration must be replicated to all domain controllers, and each member in the replication group must poll its closest domain controller to obtain the changes.

The amount of time this takes depends on the Active Directory Directory Services AD DS replication latency and the long polling interval 60 minutes on each member.
