Hi,

I have 2 windows 2003 Server configured with DFS services.
I have to replace one of those servers, and I'm considering on the new one
installing windows 2008 server.
What I would like to know is if it's possible to use the DFS service from
the Windows 2008 Server to the Windows 2003 Server.

Thanks.

Hello David,
Yes, It is possible to use dfs between w2k3 and w2k8, it will work find but
the only thing is that you will not benefit from the new features provided
by w2k8
