All, We have some issues where folders with DFS-R implemented have what I call "relapse". Here are some symptoms. We can add files and folders, no problem. We can change file names, no problem. When we rename folders, we have a problem - many times, the folder name reverts back to the old name. It will take us 3-5 tries before the rename "takes". Sometimes, when we modify a file, later that day, the file reverts back to the original status (e.g. and Excel spreadsheet with added data). Not all our folders and files exhibit this issue.
Has anyone come across these symptoms and/or have recommendations? Our setup has 2 sites, with a domain controller in each, Win2k3 R2, with at least 100Mb connectivity between sites. The folders replicated are about 180G of data total, but the daily changes are very minimal (my guess is 100M/day max). We don't schedule the replication due to the abundant bandwidth. Actually, we do schedule one folder to replicate at night because that folder has been giving me the most issues. Since I have changed from instant replication to a scheduled replication at night, the problem seems to have been alleviated. However, all the other folders require immediate replication. Thank you!
