We have some servers with "slow" connections due to some political site link connections times. What I believe is happening is that the replication window is not sufficient to propagate all the changes, and when the changes reach to the box, the files it's expecting to change are no longer there.
Ultrasound reports these as "Sharing Violations" due to the fact they are in IBCO_INSTALL_RETRY. It assume a process is holding them open, when in fact they are not. The question is how do I clear these out of the ntfrs db to ignore those changes? One article I found (and can't refind!) suggested clearing the connection on the server, and restarting FRS service to clear the entries. This worked for a few servers, but it seems those with manual connections it will not clear the inlog. Anyone know a better way? Or if anything, where to find more documentation? the ntfrsutl I would expect to maybe have a switch to clear entries like this, but it does not. I have entries dating back to 2002....ugh... Here is an example of 1 inlog result. I have this on 80 some servers. Notice the old dates, and 0'd out info. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I am having reservation on moving forward with a 2003 upgrade, until FRS is happy. --------------------------------------- able Type: Inbound Log Table for DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE) (1) SequenceNumber : 00001291 Flags : 0000004a Flags [VVAct Locn Retry ] IFlags : 00000001 Flags [IFlagVVRetireExec ] State : 0000000f CO STATE: IBCO_INSTALL_DEL_RETRY ContentCmd : 00000000 Flags [<Flags Clear>] Lcmd : 00000003 D/F 1 Delete FileAttributes : 00000030 Flags [DIRECTORY ARCHIVE ] FileVersionNumber : 00000006 PartnerAckSeqNumber : 0012e131 FileSize : 00000000 00000000 FileOffset : 00000000 00000000 FrsVsn : 01c3b10e 7cd46dbf FileUsn : 00000000 82386de8 JrnlUsn : 00000000 9edfe1a0 JrnlFirstUsn : 00000000 9edfe1a0 OriginalReplica : 1 [???] NewReplica : 1 [???] ChangeOrderGuid : 8bbb9663-f7ee-498b-92b10db4077d4c1b OriginatorGuid : 656571a6-cac6-418b-950e50a8729c476e FileGuid : 47a88a6c-2a59-4847-99752abc6e089242 OldParentGuid : 104f9971-95ad-4edc-934e073d9f62963f NewParentGuid : 104f9971-95ad-4edc-934e073d9f62963f CxtionGuid : 9a9ddaf7-96c9-4730-a897861cf726df42 Spare1Ull : Sat Nov 8, 2003 14:01:00 MD5CheckSum : MD5: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 RetryCount : 0 FirstTryTime : Thu Dec 18, 2003 20:05:35 EventTime : Thu Dec 18, 2003 18:31:43 FileNameLength : 76 FileName : {74F20E4C-B574-4A73-8879-C4330F02519A} List info : http://www.activedir.org/mail_list.htm List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/list_faq.htm List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
