Two (2) Home Directories -

[Joel]

I've got two remote networks, network A & B. Network
A has a Win2K Server DC and network B has a Win2K Server
replica. The two networks are connected via VPN over
DSL, which is reliably running at 33.3kbs - very slow.

As a result, a user wants to have two seperate local home
directories on each network to try and speed things up. In
other words, when he's working at network A, he wants to
have a local home directory on this network, and when he's
working at network B, he wants the same local copy.

The two home dirs will be sync'd every x times per day.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

You would want to have a DFS for the home directory. the share name would
be domain\%username%. Then with sites and services setup correctly he
should connect to the server in the site which is a copy of the data. Then
you would setup the replication timing for this to work.

Thanks for the tip. Since the other server (network B) is
a Win2K replica, I would have to convert to a sub-net so
that it'll have a different domain name
than network A.

Question for you... any idea how I can synchronize the
two seperate home directories?

Thanks,
