Lab Requirements for Completing the Step-by-Step Guide to Deploying DFS Replication To complete all of the tasks in this section, you need to configure the test lab as follows: You need a minimum of three file servers . All three servers must have Windows Server 2003 R2 or Windows Server 2008 and the DFS Replication service installed. One of the servers must have the DFS Management snap-in installed. Follow the procedures in "Installing Windows Server 2008 and Distributed File System" later in this guide to install the service and snap-in. The test lab must have AD DS installed. Depending on the version of your schema, you might need to extend the schema using the instructions described in "Updating the AD DS schema" later in this guide.

Hi, If you just need to create DFS, only 1 server is enough. For DFSR (for client failover), 2 servers is enough. In example, 3 servers because it needs to show different replication structures.
