Thanks for this very helpful article. For some reason our file server has ~100 non-temporary files that have this temporary flag set.

To find them all, to check prior to updating the flags, I modified your powershell script to:

Get-childitem D:\Data -recurse | ForEach-Object -process {if(($_.attributes -band 0x100) -eq 0x100) {write-output $_}}

Hey Ned! For some reason I have 365 or so files that just will not replicate. I've ran the Get-Childitem-... command on the replicated folder and the files are still stuck. Can you provide some sort of guidance on why those files may be stuck? They are anything from xls files to dwg files etc (Very diverse set of files in different directories.). Any help would be appreciated!

You will likely need to examine the debug logs to see why. On a server where one of those files won't replicate out, examine the dfsr debug log in c:\windows\debug for one of those files and paste in what it says for attributes or errors regardin that file. I can take a quick look.

Hey Ned! I've attached the information in the latest log file that I have related to one of the many files that aren’t copying. Without posting TON's of information... I've selected what I thought may be of help to you in the log. Thanks a bunch Ned!

Here is the information about one of the files:

re: DFSR Does Not Replicate Temporary Files

NedPyle — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 17:50:07 GMT

You have a database issue, where we are missing a PDNT for a folder. You can try the following:

1. Figure out the parentUID record by searching the debug logs for the GUID and version number referenced in the BLOCKED entry. For example:

20080208 14:29:20.519 804 MEET 3108 Meet::GetParent -> BLOCKED Could not find parent. parentUid:{2A623A3B-43C2-461E-AB2A-ABD99BE38362}-v11496456

{2A623A3B-43C2-461E-AB2A-ABD99BE38362}-v11496456 <- our bad guy

2. Search the downstream logs for the UID above with entries like:

20080205 11:52:26.123 4952 MEET 4098 Meet::FindNameRelated -> WAIT Name-related record with fid:0x3000000000CB0 has not been processed by UsnConsumer updateName:Scripts uid:{2A623A3B-43C2-461E-AB2A-ABD99BE38362}-v11496456 gvsn:{2A623A3B-43C2-461E-AB2A-ABD99BE38362}-v11496456 connId:{23FEF6CD-7897-4178-90ED-689A8DD2D75D} csName:MTWS csId:{A2BEC2EF-5E74-4A65-978E-3115F93CBA4E}updateName:Scripts <- the folder that has issues in database

csName:MTWS <- the repliction group it belongs to

3. Now we know the folder with an issue.

4. In the replicated folder, locate this folder (in this case it was SCRIPTS).

5. Set a trivial ACE on the file (like add Power Users READ) then remove the ACE. All we are doing here is forcing a USN update to the file that cause the correct records to be re-written into the local DFSR database.

6. Restart the DFSR service on the affected machine - replication should start flowing without issues.

If this doesn't work, let me know.

Do I alter the permissions on the upstream or downstream server? Same question for restarting dfsr. Also, isn’t there a command that you can run that will give you a list of the backlog files and their path? The dfsridag backlog only shows the names of the files. Thanks!

1. To ensure that i understand this correctly i've done this- On the updstream server i searched for "BLOCKED" and copied the UID of the problem file's parent-

20090611 08:23:47.187 2748 MEET 4092 Meet::GetParent -> BLOCKED Could not find parent. parentUid:{BEDA9BFB-254E-4A8A-B3C6-168D8E5A0034}-v5730210 updateName:ned3297.dem uid:{BEDA9BFB-254E-4A8A-B3C6-168D8E5A0034}-v5730229 gvsn:{BEDA9BFB-254E-4A8A-B3C6-168D8E5A0034}-v5736815 connId:{D9434105-3BF1-4C8F-AD54-4E0D5C0511C2} csName:FTWDATA csId:{107C5A9A-3267-4DFA-9CFE-7E9834BD3A80}

Problem ParentUID- :{BEDA9BFB-254E-4A8A-B3C6-168D8E5A0034}-v5730210.

2. On the downstream server i searched the logs and from the latest log file found the UID and found the following information but was unable to find on any line pretaining to that UID the "Updatename" section. I did find that it appreas that the DFSR database doesnt know the name of the folder and instead is substituting the UID. See below-

Thanks in advance!!

Upstream for both.

You cannot see backlog paths until you get to 2008 R2 using DFSRDIAG, and even then it will be not a full backlog but instead the current queue.
