If his Dir Replication is set to import to the C:\WINNT directory and the Exporting server's directory is empty, then the replication process will delete all the files in C:\WINNT, since the Directory Replication is really a "Mirror" of the source.
Just a suggestion ...

Brian ----- Original Message ----- From: John Cesta - <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Lists To: NT System Admin <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Issues Sent: Friday, September 28, 2001 11:07 AM Subject: Files keep disappearing from the winnt dir I am having a sort of weird problem on one of my NT4.0 SP6a servers. A while back I had to clean the server - chkdsk - seemed to work ok. After that this problem keeps occurring. One day I noticed that the files - not any directories just files - in the c:\winnt directory were gone except for two of them. I copied the files from another identical NT box in to this server's winnt directory. A day or so later they were gone again. I copied them into the dir again, a day later they are gone. I KNOW that the server does not have any viruses. I can only figure that the server may have a corrupt file system and needs to be cleaned once more. Any suggestions? John Cesta Want to unsub?
