Hello All,

We would like to setup replication of the folder contents on server1 as indicated below to the folder on server2.

server1.company1.com
c:\test1\

server2.company2.com
c:\test2\

Domains company1 and company2 have a forest trust setup with "forest-wide authentication".

I've tried to setup a DFS member server on server2.company2.com with server1 located on company1 but got error message "server1.company1.com: Information cannot be retrieved for the computer. The network path was not found"

Can someone please tell me what I am missing, as i'm stumped OR maybe this isn't the best option to use for file replication across two separate domains. Please help :). 

Thanks in advance everyone!

Pls review

Hi,

As the link mentioned, DFS Replication cross forest is not supported. You will need to find another way for replicating data between these 2 domains.
