Starting file replication service

A list of all the files skipped can be found at the following location. If a directory is skipped, then all files under the directory are also skipped.

Files are skipped during primary load if FRS is not able to open the file. Check if these files are open. These files will replicate the next time they are modified. Files may not replicate until disk space is made available on this volume.

File Replication Service doesn't support this configuration. Files may not replicate until this conflict is resolved. The output of dir command displays the Volume Serial Number before listing the contents of the folder. If this directory doesn't exist, then FRS will be unable to write debug logs.

Missing debug logs make it difficult, if not impossible, to diagnose FRS problems. Due to consistent sharing violations encountered on the file. Sharing violations occur when another user or application holds a file open, blocking FRS from updating it. Blockage caused by sharing violations can result in out-of-date replicated content. FRS will continue to retry this update, but will be blocked until the sharing violations are eliminated. Skip to main content. This browser is no longer supported.

Note If this time difference is close to a multiple of 60 minutes, then it is likely that either this computer or its partner computer was set to the incorrect time zone when the computer time was initially set.

Note If this time difference is close to a multiple of 60 minutes, then it is likely that this file may have been created or updated on the partner computer while the computer was set to the incorrect time zone when its computer time was initially set. Note If this error message is in the event log of all the members of a particular replica set, then perform steps above on only one of the members. Thanks for any answer. To change this registry parameter, run regedit.

Hi, You can choose one of DCs to perform non-authoritative restore for sysvol replication. We did a non-authoritative restore for sysvol replication, but the issue is not resolved. Hi DSPatrick Thanks again for reply. What if authoritative does not work I don't see why it would not work.

Just checking if there's any progress or updates? Hi DSPatrick Thanks for all replies. If a directory is skipped then all files under the directory are also skipped. Check if these files are open.

After you locate the correct replica set, change the value of Replica Set Stage to the new staging area path.

When the service detects a change in the staging path, the following Event is logged with a series of self-explanatory steps on how to proceed:. The service will start using the new staging path after it restarts. The service is set to restart after every restart. It is recommended that you manually restart the service to prevent loss of data in the staging folder.

If more than one replica set are sharing the current staging folder then it is safer to copy the staging files to the new staging folder. Microsoft recommends that you follow step 2 in the preceding event message because the FRS staging folder may contain thousands or tens of thousands of files in the original staging folder all of which may be destined for one or more downstream partners.

In Windows Explorer, you can view the files in the staging folder. On the Folder Options menu, click the View tab, and then click to select the Show hidden files and folders check box. Copy the files to the new staging folder, and then follow the remaining steps in the event log message.
