To rename the Training Guides folder:

1.In the console tree of the DFS Management snap-in, right-click the Training Guides folder, and then click Rename Folder.

2.In the Rename Folder dialog box, in New name, type Training Demos.

To move the Training Demos folder:

•In the console tree of the DFS Management snap-in, click the Training Demos folder, and then drag it to the Software folder.

After you finish these procedures, your namespace should look like this:

7.5.7.Replicate a Folder in the Namespace Using DFS Replication

In this task, you enable DFS Replication on the Tools folder. If you recall from "7.5.4 Add Folders to the Namespace," you created two folder targets for the Tools folder. Because users can be directed to either one of the folder targets, you need to ensure that the contents of the folders are kept synchronized.

If you are familiar with File Replication service (FRS) in Windows Server 2003, you know that FRS is only supported in domain- based namespaces. In Windows Server 2003 R2, you can use DFS Replication in both stand-alone and domain-based namespaces. Therefore, you can complete this task regardless of the type of namespace you created in "7.5.1 Create a Namespace.”

IMPORTANT

To perform this task, you need to have Active Directory deployed in your test lab environment, and you must be a member of the Domain Admins group or have been delegated the ability to create replication groups to perform this task.

IMPORTANT

After you complete this task, replication does not begin immediately. The topology and DFS Replication settings must be replicated to all domain controllers, and each member in the replication group must poll its closest domain controller to obtain these settings. The amount of time this takes depends on Active Directory replication latency and the long polling interval (60 minutes) on each member.
