We currently have built a new domain structure for our client which consist of domains in separate forests with the approapriate trusts in place. The domains being:
user, resource, legacy resource and Test.
It is assumed that the resources will be migrated out of the legacy domain to the new resource domain in the medium term.
Given we have circa 650 file shares, which causes problems with logon scripts, I want to present those shares via a DFS. Internally our view is that the DFS should be built in the user forest to reference file shares in the resource domain(s).
Our client, however believes the DFS is a resource, and therfore should be presented in the new resource domain.
What are the pros / cons of each and what would be the Microsoft recommendation and why ?
