DFS - Is there an automated way to flip the target in a failover situation

-

we use dfs , dfs-r.  server 2008 r2.  we have our files split between 2 file servers, 4 tb on each one.  they replicate 1 partner each @ our dr site.

to avoid problems caused lack of distributed file locking in dfsr, have dfs targets on dr side disabled users referrals production side.

but believe in failover situation users not referral, if file server on production side went down, because have targets on dr side disabled.

we have quite few dfs targets.  maybe 25.  does know of script, or other method, automate changing targets disabled enabled, , targets enabled disabled?

hi,

if dr site site data site (sounds so), enabled these targets on dr site, users should still directed "in site" target. default.

we not have such setting automatically enable disabled site when enabled site down. have manually (with run script, enable in dfs management etc).

if have feedback on our support, please send tnfsl@microsoft.com.
