Can you Setup a Active Passive DFS namespace in the same site

Hi,
I would like to use DFS for profile replication. I know MS doesn't recommend it, but was wondering if you could setup DFS namespace in an Active/ passive contests in the same AD site. I think or what I can understand of DFS is that if the Fileserver is in
the same site it would select it randomly and you cant specify which server is the primary.
Basically what I want is to have users only access File server 1, but if this file server 1 goes down to be redirected to file server 2.
Thanks,
Shaun

You could have a read-only Replica but that really doesn't help you in terms of the automatic redirection thing.  You could also set up a 2-node replication group and disable the referral for the folder(s) on one node like below:
However the "failover" would be manually Enabling, which I doubt fits the bill. 
Otherwise, I'm not aware of any configuration of DFSR that allows you to do what you're talking about (maybe someone else will correct me.)  HOWEVER, I suspect a design that fits your use case may be to create a DFS namespace that runs
on a file server cluster.  That way if Node1 goes down, the cluster fails over,  and the data continues to be available on Node2 when accessed via DFS.
If interested, there are a couple ways to approach DFS in combination with a cluster. 
Configuration1:  The cluster is configured to host the namespace as well as the folder targets (where the actual data is).  CAVEAT - The cluster can only be configured as a standalone cluster.
Configuration2:  Create a domain DFS namespace that resides on other servers. 
\\domain\DFSRoot for example.  Then point each of the leaves/folder targets to clustered shares. So you'd create a subfolder called "Profiles" that points to the clustered share that houses the profiles.
Just an idea.  Hope this helps.

  • Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same macbook pro?

    Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same MacBook Pro?
    Specifically, I used the Migration Assistant to move music and photos from my old PC to my new MacBook. 
    Somehow, I missed the fact that it was creating a new user account when it was doing this.  So none of music and photos are in the user account I originally set-up.  Instead, all these files are now in a different account.
    I'd like to consolidate all my files on the one user account and delete the other one.
    Is this possible and, if so, how do I do it?
    Thank you.

    you can crop files from one account to another using the Public Dropbox which every user account has.  Log into the user that has the files you want to move, then drag the folder you want to the new users' dropbox:
    I suggest a small scale test on a few files first before moving gigabytes of files.

    Stop using the same Apple ID for iMessage on these devices.  Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (Receive At in iOS 5), tap the ID shown, sign out, then sign back in using a unique ID for each device.  (Or, just sign out and stop using your Apple ID for iMessage.)

  • Can you pass multiple files to Business Catalyst at the same time?

    I need to pass information from a client. The infromation is split into several files. I can not access the files to combine them to send as one document to BC. Can I send the two files over even though they do not full fill the necessity of all the user information. File 1 is the personal information and has no other details. When this fill crosses over BC accepts with no trouble. When the second file goes across the personal information is not there but the form details are and this file wipesout the DB. Going through debug when the first file executes I see the data on the BC side. When the second file executes the data is all gone. I cannot combine both files to create one document. Files do not have the same number of users so import of file with file helper would not work since it needs to meet certain requirements to process correctly everytime. By combining the two files would give a different number of tabs than what file helper is looking for and by that matter the data may not be in the correct order. Retrieving the data from the file also would not work since I would have to retrieve from both files at the same time and there would be issues if the user does not occur on both files.
    Please help.
    Thank you,

  • How can you add a 2nd i Tunes account on the same computer?

    How can you add a 2nd i Tunes account to the same computer?

    I had an application where I spawned (= ran with Start Asynchronous Call) multiple (reentrant) copies of VIs, and would occasionally "lose control" of them.  I needed a way to find all VIs that were running "Top Level" and stop them (so I didn't have to log off from Windows).
    I used the Application Property "All VIs in Memory" to get an array of (wait for it ...) All VIs in Memory.  I took each name, opened a VI reference to it (simply wire the name string in, as the VI is, by definition, "in memory"), looked at its VI Execution State, and if it was Run Top Level, Invoked the FP.Close and Abort VI Methods.  [To prevent the VI that did all this from "committing Suicide", I compared the name string with the current Call Chain, and did nothing if there was a match].
    I think you could adopt this idea to do what you need.

    Can you have more than one computer linked to the same icloud account?  If so how do you add a computer?

    Yes, of course - that's the whole point, to provide syncing of data such as calendars, contacts and email between computers and iOS devices. Having got iCloud up and running on one computer, simply sign all other devices in at System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud with the same login. (Lion 10.7.2 and iOS5 are the minimum requirements.)

  • Can you setup CDC on Replicated Database and not the source database

    I just want to confirm the following:
    Can you setup Change Data Capture on the replicated database. (SQL 2008 R2, SQL 2012)
    To be clear CDC will not be setup on the source server database, it will only be setup on the replicated database.
    Everything I've read so far says you can but there are pit falls and probably is not a good idea.
    What are the pros and cons?
    What is best practice.

    Yes, you can.
    Have you seen this article?
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/repltalk/archive/2010/04/19/change-data-capture-best-practices.aspx
    I use replication all the way. You can replicate to a different table of a different schema in the same database. In most cases where people do cdc I find that they can use replication to achieve the same goals.

  • Can I have two active versions of JRE on the same PC?

    Some one please advice me if I can keep two different versions of JRE on the same PC running under Win NT. I have to use one version(1.2.2) of JRE for running an application and a later version(1.3) for running some other applications.
    I tried to install both and when I checked the registry entries, only one verion seems to be active at a time. Is there any workaround?
    thanx,
    Anoop.

    Multiversion support is available in JDK 1.4.
    You can download JRE 1.4 Beta 3 from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4
    and test this functionality.
    The following url discusses this topic in detail with a mix of version 1.3 and 1.4 examples. Similarly, you can have a mix of version
    1.2 and 1.4 also for your needs.
