We have a windows 2000 cluster used as a file server. Right now there are two
800 gb partitions that each hold department folders with user folders under
each respective department. Each node holds a partition in Active/Active
mode. I am using DFS to handle failover, so the path to a file share is
\\Servername\dfsroot\fileshare. I want to reorganize the file structure to
have User shares on one partition and Department shares on the other and get
rid of DFS because it is slow to open up folders and the path is confusing to
people. I also want to upgrade to Windows 2003.

I plan on doing a rolling upgrade to Windows 2003 and then start migrating
user directories to one partition and then removing DFS.

Does this make sense? Is DFS necessary?

Any help is appreciated.
