DFS Member not replicating

hello.

i have 3 dfs members each @ different sites (server1,server2,server3)

all replicating server 3 no longer replicating/reflecting changes made it.

i.e server 3 creates/deletes/changes file change not reflected on server1/2

server1/2 creates or deletes file reflected on server3

reviewed event logs, ran dfs diagnostics report.. dont see backlogged files or errors.

ran dcdiag @ sites no replication issues

able ping each file server .

any ideas?

thanks

hi,

please go c:\windows\debug folder find dfsr log. please find newest 1 , start end of log see if error occurs. example can create file on server3 specific file name , search name in newest dfsr log , see exact replication process. 

or can try workaround remove , re-join server3 replication group. 

above all, backup files on server3 may replaced old files in new replication.

then can delete server3 replication group. run “repadmin /syncall /ade sync ad.

make sure delete dfsrprivate folder on server3. not need delete data , improve replication speed.

then can join replication group.

force synchronization of ad ensure change in dfs replicated file servers 
“repadmin /syncall /ade“

log onto server3 , poll ad “dfrsdiag pollad” – cause changes in dfs management reflected on other servers.

wait replication finished.
