RE: What are the limits of DSF-R ?
Hi,
This limit is obviously on the Sysvol replication. This folder would be
replicated to other domain controllers. So therefore there is a limit to this
folder's size to reduce network issues when changes in AD / GP are updated
and broadcast to other DC's.
I imagine that DFSR limits are in the region of 1TB since its granular and
not transferring individual files as a whole.
I've heard of people using DFSR and their hub server transferring something
like 1.4TB of data all the time over a period of 6 months without issues. I
think these limits are based on performance analysis and Microsoft wish you
to maintain these limits to keep the network/replication system running
smoothly. However I'm not sure about Sysvol transfers. Unless its a large
enterprise i'm sure you wont have 64GB of data transferring too often?
I think we need to know more about what you hope to achieve so we can say
Yes, No or Maybe to the scenario that you are applying DFS-R.
Cheers.
