Two descriptions on the same problem problem. Anyone know anything that
could solve this?
Version1:
We have two servers, FIL1 and FIL2, on each server there is a shared folder
called Data.
DFS is used to replicate data both ways between the two shares.
A logon script maps drive O: to \\DN\DFS$\data, where DN is the domain
name, DFS$ is
the root DFS share, and data is the name of the root replicas.
All users have full access to O: which presently contains about 4 GB of
data.
We have a problem where two users can open the same document (on two
different servers)
and edit the document at the same time, one of the users then looses the
changes when it is replicated.
They do not receive any notification that the file is already in use (on the
other server)
Is it possible to tell the DFS clients to connect to a speciffic DFS
replica, while stil being able to
automatically fail over to the other replica should the preffered one be
unavailable ?
I can move one server to another site, but that stops automatic failover
from working.
Version2:
We have two public document servers, which replicate each other using DFS.
Where the logon script randomly chooses what server to use. However, if a
user opens a document on one of the servers, another user can still open the
same document on the other server without receiving some kind of
warning/notification.
We need a solution, could it be a program that checks if the document is
already
opened on one of the servers?
could solve this?
