The Staging tab of the member server Properties dialog box
You can get the current staging size by using the Get-DfsrMembership cmdlet, and
configure the staging size and path by using the Set-DfsrMembership cmdlet. To set the path
and size for the server membership shown in Figure 2-13, use the following command:
Set-DfsrMembership -GroupName Test `
-ComputerName Trey-dc-02 `
-StagingPath "C:\PSHelp\DfsrPrivate\Staging" `
-StagingPathQuotaInMB 4096
You can also set the size and path of the Conflict and Deleted folder that caches folders
and files that have been changed on two or more members or have been deleted. The default
size is 4 GB (4096 MB).
There are two kinds of fault tolerance available for DFS-N: multiple root targets for
domain-based DFS-N and failover clusters for stand-alone DFS-N.
Domain-based DFS-N fault tolerance
When creating DFS-N root targets for domain-based DFS-N, you need a minimum of two
domain controllers and two DFS-N root targets within the domain that is hosting the root.
This ensures that the failure of either a domain controller or a server hosting a DFS-N root
will not cause the namespace to be unavailable. Domain-based DFS roots can't be created on
cluster shared storage, although they can be created on nonshared storage of cluster nodes.
