I'm trying to set up a series of servers in which web
content replicates over a dfs from between two servers (AD
based). DFS sets up correctly and replication works fine.
After replication begins the DFS server that is not the
primary replica starts to force a user to log in with NTLM
permissions or it throws a 401. All permissions on the
secondary server for the DFS remain as they should
including local IUSR permissions.
I've even fired up NTFILEMON to try and find some access
denied messages, but nothing. It just seems like DFS is
blocking the local files from being displayed by IIS. No
error, no nothing.
Could this be a result of DFS file locking or some similar
mechainism? Should I just throw this out and get Robocopy?
(NO I'm not wasting more of my money on yet another half
working MS product called Application Center....for those
flamers, try and understand what it's like to install an
updated microsoft certified scsi driver and have the whole
system tank.)
Note to Billy: Log files that actually said something
would be nice.
