Was interested to see if I could use Work Folders instead of DFS-R to sync folders between 3 locations.
Site A Datacenter would have Folder Site B and folder Site C
Site B would have Folder Site B which replicates with Site A
Site C would have a folder Site C which replicates with Site A
Users connecting to Site A would access files only from site A using namespace
Users in site B would access site B folder locally and site C folder from Site A both via the namespace path.
Users in site C would access site C folder locally and site B folder from Site A both via the namespace path.
I am curious if there would be issues with file locking as we have with DFS-R which is no file locking options. Not to mention if a file change is saved and the information is sent to the Jet Database to sync and someone modifies the file it can create propblems requiring IT to get involved.
