Windows SBS03 FRS

Hello

I have recently been given the task of setting up some form of "file replication" between 4 domain (sites), 3 of the sites are running Windows Small Business Server 2003 Standard edition and the "main" site (domain) is running Windows Small Business Server 2003 Premium Edition. The sites are all connected over 512k pipes and can talk to each other as though they are on the same LAN (IP addresses are 192.168.0.x, 192.168.1.x, 192.168.2.x and 192.168.3.x)

Given This setup is it possible to have Windows File Replication service replicate data between the sites in real time?

- It has been requested that I setup a "common" drive between the sites and I dont want to just map a drive accross the pipes as that is slow

does Small bussiness Server 2003 support File Replication

How does one setup replication?

I would look at what help has to say on Dfs (Distributed file system).
Fault tolerance and replication can be used within Dfs. Dfs should let you
have local copies at each site (for rapid access) but replicate changes to a
central "master" copy.
