We have implemeneted DFS-R and have had random issues. Sometimes things go missing.

We have 2 servers, one local the other at a remote office.

Sometimes when people add files from the remote office it isn't replicated here. Sometimes it is, and sometimes, it gets over written by the server here (local).

I run the diagnostics and it kicks back :

WARNINGS (There is 1 warning to report)

One or more replicated folders have sharing violations.

Affected replicated folders: Data

Description: Due to ongoing sharing violations, DFS Replication cannot replicate files in the replicated folders listed above. This problem is affecting 1 files in 1 replicated folders. Event ID: 4302
Last occurred: Thursday, July 31, 2008 at 1:29:17 PM (GMT-5:00)
Suggested action: Verify that the files you want to replicate are closed and have no open handles to them. For information about troubleshooting sharing violations, see The Microsoft Web Site.

We have shared folders inside the DFS-R, I know this could be part of the problem. I can't seem to figure out how to get that warning to go away.

Thanks in advance.

The DFS Replication service is stopping communication with partner REMOTESERVER1 for replication group Data Replication due to an error. The service will retry the connection periodically.

Additional Information:
Error: 1726 (The remote procedure call failed.)

Figured out how to recover the files with a script "restoredfsr.vbs" . But still doesn't explain why it happened. Seems that it replicated at about the same time. Files were changed and folder names too. Not sure still why it happened, but atleast i can recover..

Anyone know why ? Seemed to have replicated at 4 in the morning. The changes happend at 3:45 in the afternoon the previous day.
