Guest Maxence Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Hi, Regarding the KB 840675 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;840675) about the DFS limitations, can anyone tell me if DFS-R has the same limits ? (especially about the data limit : "A maximum of 64 GB of data."). Thanks in advance for your help. Maxence
Guest Chris White Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 RE: What are the limits of DSF-R ? Hi, This limit is obviously on the Sysvol replication. This folder would be replicated to other domain controllers. So therefore there is a limit to this folder's size to reduce network issues when changes in AD / GP are updated and broadcast to other DC's. I imagine that DFSR limits are in the region of 1TB since its granular and not transferring individual files as a whole. I've heard of people using DFSR and their hub server transferring something like 1.4TB of data all the time over a period of 6 months without issues. I think these limits are based on performance analysis and Microsoft wish you to maintain these limits to keep the network/replication system running smoothly. However I'm not sure about Sysvol transfers. Unless its a large enterprise i'm sure you wont have 64GB of data transferring too often? I think we need to know more about what you hope to achieve so we can say Yes, No or Maybe to the scenario that you are applying DFS-R.
