‘Dfsrdiag.exe ReplicationState’: What’s DFSR up to?
First published on TECHNET on May 28, 2009 A request we’ve received consistently from our customers is – How do I know what DFS Replication is currently doing on my server? In Windows Server 2008 R2, we have attempted to provide a way for administrators to better understand the state of replication on their servers.SYSVOL Migration Series: Part 2 – Dfsrmig.exe: The SYSVOL migration tool
First published on TECHNET on Feb 14, 2008 In our first post in this series, we examined the SYSVOL migration process and understood how things work at a high level during the process of migration of the SYSVOL share from the FRS service to the DFS Replication service.
Stop DFS replication and remove data from one server
0 Hi, two servers, both servers on the same domain. DFS is setup to replicate between both servers. How do I stop the replication and delete the files from one of the servers, while keeping the data intact on the other server, without causing a mess and potentially making the shares unavailable or experiencing data loss? DFS can stay, just the replication needs to stop. I'm aware how to stop DFS: Open the DFS Management console. Expand the Replication. Select your replication group(s). Right-click on each member server and select Disable. But this will still leave me with the data on both servers, won't it? I want to reclaim the space by deleting the data off of one of the servers because it's quite a lot and the space is needed elsewhere. Thanks!
