Question

Is Working Papers compatible with Microsoft's Distributed File System (DFS)?

Answer

There are two types of DFS functions:

• DFS Replication
• DFS Namespaces

Microsoft's DFS Replication function is not compatible with Working Papers files. If DFS Replication is used with Working Papers, it may result in file corruption. However, Microsoft's DFS Namespaces function is fully compatible with Working Papers.
