Handling Synching in Nested DFS Shares
- Using an emcopy that excludes the sync directory (such as
/xd \\server\d$\share\sync) copy the parent share.
- Ensure the child Sync directory is empty
- Ensure the child Sync directory is shared.
- Right click > Properties > Sharing > Advanced Sharing > Permissions
- For "Everyone" tick "full control"
- Press "OK" twice to get back to Properties > Apply
- On the new server in the "Namespaces" section expand the Namespace in use and select the specific folder being altered.
- Right click folder and choose "Add folder target..."
- Browse to the desired child Sync path
- Choose "full mesh" instead of "bi-directional" via the radio buttons
- Press "Ok" and done.
- use an emcopy command that excludes the sync directory
- delete existing sync dirs
- setup sync on the syn dirs
- when every sync is done, switch over the target?
