DFS failure

[HANK B]

Hello, Our DFS has failed. We have two AD domain
controllers. For failover purposes up created DFS folders
on each machine..All seemed fine 'till our accountant
started pulling up OLD Quickbook files that did not have
her current work. Sure enough the DFS on #2 controller was
not up to date!!! It seems so simple..but oh try to figure
out the problem. I have scoured the event logs with out
much luck. THe only clue is the time may be out of sync, I
know this will cause problems! Any tips or pointers? What
happened to the FRS group! Hank B

The FRS group still exists--its microsoft.public.windows.server.dfs_frs.

Check out our FRS monitoring tools up on
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/technologies/fileandprint/file/dfs/tshootfrs.mspx.
You can try Ultrasound, Sonar, or FRSDiag; the latter two are faster to
install/run but Ultrasound will give you the richest monitoring.
