2008 r2 - READ-ONLY DFRS (similar concept like RODC)

[IT Staff]

Just heard from instructor that 2008r2, there is a new feature called
READ-ONLY DFRS. Similar concept like RODC. Only one way replication.

But i ask myself i might as well perform a disconnected member to become
one way.

Any other differences you are aware of ?

Well for one, a partially-disconnected or completely-disconnected member
will get out of sync if local changes do occur, whereas a DFSR member
configured to read-only will actually stay in sync.
