I have a DFS folder with two targets. The first to the primary file server and the second to a slow emergency backup file server to be used only in the event of a failure of the primary.

There is 'one-way' replication configured between the two.

Both targets are located at the same site. Is there anyway to ensure that target selection picks the primary one first every time? I currently just have the secondary target disabled.

Edit: I have tried to Set Target Priority to Override Referral Ordering, but that doesn't seem to have worked either.

Have you seen this DFS Server Prioritization document? It sounds like even if both of your servers are in the same "site", you can still set a different "target priority" (according to that document). It sounds like this should prioritize the servers as you would expect from a client point of view.
