The File Replication Service has detected that the replica

[ShiftPoint]

I manage a windows 2003 server that has been giving me all sorts of problems. Its a file server that is running dns,dhcp and active directory. Then we have a terminal server connecting to it for our users to remote into. Lately they have been having all sorts of errors when trying to log into the terminal server. Mostly error messages such as:

"not enough system resources to complete this operation"

So I found a few things online. One was to install this hotfix by MS:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/902336

I modified the registry as it says ... day 2 same problems... this time more errors about not enough memory and a few others when trying to log in. So after reviewing the file system log there were tons of errors in there about NTFRS ... this is the one:

Code: Select all

The File Replication Service has detected that the replica
root path has
changed from "c:\windows\sysvol\domain"
to "c:\windows\sysvol\domain". If
this is an intentional move then a file with the name
NTFRS_CMD_FILE_MOVE_ROOT needs to be created under the new
root path.
This was detected for the following replica set:
"DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)"

So I did exactly as the rest of the error message tells you to do. Create a FILE in the "c:\windows\sysvol\domain" directory called:

NTFRS_CMD_FILE_MOVE_ROOT

Then do a "net stop ntfrs” and “net start ntfrs” from command line and no more errors. Its still a little early to tell if this completely solved the problem but their hasn't been 1 error message in the log as of yet and everyone is able to login.
