Distributed File System (DFS) Lab in Windows Server 2022

Professor Robert McMillen shows you how to setup a Distributed File System (DFS) on your Windows 2022 Server to replicate data for high availability and faster remote office access.

SUBSCRIBED! I followed your most excellent video, everything worked, and I learned a lot! I assumed if I needed to INSTALL DFS on both servers, share the folders on both servers, I had to CONFIGURE the Namespace at BOTH servers. I wanted DFS for FS redundancy. I rewatched your video and SURE ENOUGH! At 3:50 you said you can add both Servers as Namespace Servers if you want. I did just that and waited. BAM! TYSVM. Moving on to more of your fantastic labs.

Thank you so much for this video.
I saw it and did practice on my virtual box. It really worked. I am learning so much

Hello Robert. Thank you for sharing the videos. Helps a lot.

Hello Robert. Thank you for the video. Do you think Storage Replica is more robust than DFS as the replication happens at the block level? Also is on perm file servers still applicable as most of the shares are migrated to Sharepoint these days? Thank you

If I understood correctly, there is an async background sync between the nodes. Usually how much time is needed, after init, to replicate something to server A -> B ?
Is it in milliseconds, seconds, minutes?
Thank you

Do you have a video on migrating the old primary DFS server to a new one? 2008r2 to newer OS?

[AuricomOne]

Fantastic video. Considering using this together with FSLogix for an HA type scenario. Super useful -- thank you so much for the detailed walkthrough and explanation.

[FrostyJesus]

Great video. Now to put this in production...
