Hi all, Ned here. A new Technet operations guide has been published that walks you through how to migrate from FRS to DFSR for non-SYSVOL folders running on Windows Server 2003 R2 and Windows 2008:
DFS Operations Guide: Migrating from FRS to DFS Replication
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=a27008a8-4b28-49cc-80b5-05b867440af9
We (Mike Stephens and I) are also working on a migration tool to be available from CodePlex . There is no ETA on this as even though we are code complete, we are entering the lawyer phase that is out of our control. The tool gives you a way to list, export, and delete your old FRS replicas then configure DFSR to replicate the same files on the same servers, all through a command-line interface, all pretty automagically. More on that when I have something concrete to tell you - again, please don't keep asking for ETA in the meantime, I am just going to ignore you. :-)
