DFS Replication and Vista

W

Wake-Up-Jeff

I note that Vista now includes DFS Replication Service, and that it is used
by Windows Meeting Space.
I would like to use DFS replication to transfer files between 2 Vista
clients.
The MS article KB930516 states that you can't include a Vista computer in a
replication group.
It also says:
"...you can successfully use only the Windows Vista version of the DFS
Replication service in peer-to-peer DFS Replication service groups"

My question is - How do you set these up?
I can't see how to do this in the DFS snapin on W2K3 R2.

Any advice appreciated.

You can't include Vista in replication groups using the DFS Mgmt snap-in.
There used to be a feature in Vista that would replicate between clients
using DFSR (called PC-to-PC Sync, I think), but that feature was cut prior
to RTM.

The servers running DFSR must run R2, no exceptions (unless you've got
Windows Server 2008 Beta :)
