Scripting out DFS and Replication
Rob Millman 09.07.2007 14:04:02
I'm using 2003 R2 all around and trying to implement DFS and Replication.
Using DFSUTIL, DFSCMD, and DFSRAdmin to script out the creation/configuration
of the Namespace server(s), folder targets, replication group(s), etc. I am
able to create everything and it all works correctly. I have two
questions/problems that I'd like some help with. 1) If I use the DFS MMC
snap-in to delete a replication group that was created via script, I get a
list of deletion steps with a warning that a Target Link is missing. I do
not get this error if I delete a replication group that was created in the
MMC snap-in, 2) Once the replication is established via script, the MMC
Snap-in does not show a "green" file folder icon in the tree under the
Namespace tree for each folder in the namespace.

It appears that, although the scripting working and it results in
distributed/replicated folders, I am missing some setting or something the
match the equivilent configuration created directly in the MMC snap-in.

Does anyone have any guidance or can point me in a direction to resolution
on these issues?

Thanks

Robert Millman
