Unable to manage DFS namespace
(updated post) Hi, We have an issue with DFS at our site. It has been working fine for years, but recently the ability to manage it using the DFS MMC no longer works. DFS is still working for the users fine and we can map to it manually, but the MMC tool no longer connects. We can create and manage new namespaces fine though. The error is: " The namespace cannot be queried. The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. " We can't risk recreating the namespace due to the impact on users, so anyone have any idea to fix this and get DFS MMC working to allow management of the namespace? Many thanks DB
DFS Folder Replication DB Import Error code: 0x00000005
Hello, I have a server 2016 file server I am trying to setup with DFS folder replication. The volume that I am stuck on has 15.4TB of data and I have already done the preseeding to the downstream server which is within the same network. I have done the dfrs clone export both with basic validation and no validation, the basic validation seems to timeout and error out saying it wasnt able to read the config.xml file in the directory, however when I do no validation it goes right through but then the downstream server on the import gives me a Error code: 0x00000005. I have done my own validation on the preseeded folders and files on the downstream server so I am not worried about doing the validation and just need the downstream server to import it.
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!
DFS and DFSR failover
Hi, I'm looking at setting up DFS Namespace and DFSR for some remote branches and just wanted to get some expert advice: I understand that if a local server at a branch office fails then the users will be auto-redirected to another server (according to the sites configuration). But when happens is a network link fails? I know DFSR will fail, but will the namespace still stay at the local server? In that case what happens when the link comes backup? secondly, am I right in thinking that there is no awareness in the Namespace that would stop 2 users trying to open/save the same file from 2 different branch offices. If that was to happen how would DFSR deal with the 2 modified files. Thanks.Replicación DFS entre sedes
Buenas tardes, Tenemos configurado un servidor DFS en la sede principal con Windows Server 2019 y hemos creado una replicación DFS de algunas carpetas a otra sede. La idea es que en cada sede se trabaje contra los documentos de su servidor y entre ellos se repliquen los datos. El problema es que si un usuario de la sede principal abre un documento el lunes por ejemplo y hasta el viernes no lo guarda y cierra, todos los cambios que hayan realizado sobre ese mismo documento en la sede secundaria al replicar se pierden. Es decir, en caso de que se edite el mismo documento en las dos sedes a la vez, solo se guardan los cambios del último que le ha dado a guardar. Que se puede hacer para que se bloquee el documento en uso, salga algún mensaje o que no permita abrirlo al menos en la segunda sede? Queremos evitar que se pierdan los datos modificados de alguna de las dos sedes en caso de que coincidan. Muchas gracias
