In my company I have two DFS, in different places, different sites ("I'll call them SiteA and SiteB). Employees who work at SiteA use SiteA DFS and vice versa. I just want to set SiteA to Both SiteA and SiteB sites. Is it possible?
Thank you.

Hi @EdWin ,
By "two DFS", do you mean two (2) DFS Namespaces?
Are both sites "SiteA"and "SiteB" identical?
If they are identical, then you can simply disable one of the DFS Namespaces by disabling its namespace member servers.
If they are not identical, then you shouldn't disable anything.

Hi @Leon Laude
As a matter of fact, I have just one DFS Namespace. Both SiteA and SiteB identical. But, users who are allocated at SiteB browse files from SiteB, and vice-versa. I'd like that: Both A and B users just access files from SiteA, and SiteB' would be a sort of "spare", when SiteA is unavailable.
Thank you for helping.
You can configure a referral target, so the clients will attempt to communicate with a certain DFS Namespace member server first.
