Is it possible to configure one-way replication with DFS Replication?

Microsoft does not support creating a one-way replication connection with DFS Replication. Doing so can cause numerous problems including health check topology errors, staging issues, and problems with the DFS Replication database. A better solution is to simulate a one-way connection by using the following list: • Train administrators to make changes only on the server(s) that you want to designate as primary servers. Then let the changes replicate to the destination servers. • Configure the share permissions on the destination servers so that end users do not have Write permissions. If no changes are allowed on the branch servers, then there is nothing to replicate back, simulating a one-way connection and keeping WAN utilization low.
