Question

We have a site which sits on two load balanced application servers (Win 2K3) which comprises a C#/ASP.NET app and a bunch of static content which changes on a daily basis.

My question is, what’s the best way to keep the static content in sync. In Win2K8 we’d be able to point both servers at a shared directory but not in Win2K3.

There used to be something nice in Site Server to do this but no more.

Ideally the solution should be cheap and quick and not involve retesting the whole app (else we’d just upgrade to 2K8).

Answer 1

Have you considered using robocopy which is a part of Windows Resource Kit.

Here’s a link to wikipedia that has a lot more explanation with examples.

HTH.
