No replication possible in my DFS menu !!?!

[Lars]

Hi !

I've got a problem with a root domain DFS.
It's mounted on a 2003 member server.

When I right click on my root, I do NOT have the Replication choice in it !
From another member 2K server, I've got it, but it's grayed...

I don't understand.

First, you need to have at least root targets to enable replication; this
might be why you are not seeing the option. However, we strongly recommend
against replicating roots. Instead, you should create a link, add mulitple
targets to the link, and enable replication on the link.

For more information about why replicating a root is not recommended, see
the DFS FAQ at
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/overview/dfsfaq.mspx.

The question you want is called:

Q. If I use multiple root targets in a domain-based DFS namespace, do I need
to enable replication on the root?
