DFS replication broke my office installation source
No, it didn’t.
But by default, DFS replication excludes certain file patterns. Some of these patterns (notably *.bak files) are used by the office 2003 installation source. You will need to edit the filter of the replication group, in order to enable replication of similar files. The replication group i’m using for my software packages doesn’t have any filters, and is only replicated at night.
Please remember that changing the filter, and the replication of the “missing” files may take up to an hour, due to lookup and replication delays by all replication group members.
