DFSR Preexisting / Odd issue question
Hi there! I am in the process of decommissioning a Windows 2008 R2 DFSR member server, I have the last lot of files and folders to move to our new 2016 DFSR member. Robocopying folders/files and...
Thanks Seshadrr, when I did the original robocopy I excluded the DFSRPrivate folder, so just had the end user data copied over. It was when I set up the replication group and it performed the "intial sync" that all but a third of the folders and files were moved to preexisting. I will give the read only replication a go on the target server, i need to do another re copy now as the data is out of date. I will let you know how this goes.
When you are using the second set of copies, i mean its delta set from the source to destination. To avoid duplicate folder to be created on target server, better to use MIR switch which will have identical files/folders set on the source -> target server
