I have been searching my Windows 2003 R2 install for the dfsrdiag.exe command to no avail. Where can I find it? Also, is there a way to tell if a system is using FRS or DFS replication?

Thanks for the kind words - we're glad you like this feature. This command is good to get a snapshot of the current replication activity - it doesnt really surface errors in replication. If you're looking for active monitoring of the DFS Replication service, I'd suggest taking a look at System Center Operations Manager.

We have a DFS Replication management pack - this keeps track of the error and warning events logged by DFS-R on each of the servers in the replication group. It also contains rules which tell the management pack when certain error conditions have been auto-corrected etc.

The management pack is currently in beta and is available via connect.microsoft.com. If you're interested, please drop us a line using the 'EMAIL' link at the top of this page, and I'll send you information about how to subscribe to the beta program.

Thanks,

Mahesh

Nicklas, on Windows Server 2003 R2, you can use the 'dfsrdiag.exe Backlog' command to get an idea of what files are currently backlogged/pending replication on a member server.

The 'ReplicationState' command line option requires some support from the DFS Replication service itself (especially the ability to snapshot current replication state). Therefore, this functionality is not available on earlier versions of Windows Server (Windows Server 2003 R2 and Windows Server 2008).

Hello, do you know if are there something like this in Windows 2003 Std Server ? This utility is very good !!

Today, I only look in my DFSR logs when we have some problem but this is not so "active"; the better is see errors in the moment they are occurring.
