    Hi

    My file replication between two 2008 server doesn't replicate all files. I have a directory with .pdf files, some of

    the files are replicated, some not. All of them have the same rights, no anti  virus software is installed at the moment.

    If I make a status report, I got error messages that there is same sharing violence.  The files have no temporary attribute

    and they are not symbolic links.

     

    Any ideas?

    Best regards,

    Peter

    Hi Peter,

    Do you use DFS replication to replicate the files?

    Can you check if the .pdf file was configured in the filer type in the DFS replication scheduler?

    Could you please post the error message of the report so that we can help you out?

    Thanks and regards,
    Scorprio

    Hi

    I use DFS (RFS) the Windows 2008 integrated service.

    There is no filter configured, alle file types (except .bak and .tmp) are replicated.

    I just can post the German error log, or try to translate!

    "I get an error  like: DFS-Service was not allowed to collect directory information becaue of sharing violence for the directory."

    It is strange, because as already mentioned, most of the files were replicated, but some even not. ...all files are .pdf Files.

    and another error message:

    "Some files were not replicated, because of temporary attribute or symbolic link.

    Best Regards

    OK, problem seems to be solved.

    It was because of temporary flag, which was not visible in file properties.

    after delete the flag, files are replicated.

     

    Best Regards.

    Hi

    I installed a software called "TCC LE 9.0", it's like a DOS prompt.

    Then you can use the "attrib" command like this: attrib -T ....    delets the temporary flag.

    Let me know if it helps.

    Best Regards.

    Peter

    Hi Peter

    Thanks for your swift response..

    This seems to be non MS product, my security team will not allow me to install since the servers are in production.

    Is there any other alternate way..

    Regards

    Hi

    I don't know if "attrib" which is a MS DOS command is included in Windows Server 2008. Maybe it is a feature of PowerShell.

    Regards.

    Hi Yuvi,

    You may try setting the file attribute (remove Temporary attribute from file) by using Windows PowerShell.  (I found this inside of the blog that was reference earlier in the thread...maybe there is an easier way but this way worked).

    PS D:\temp> $a = get-childitem myfile.pdf
    PS D:\temp> $a.attributes
    Archive, Temporary
    PS D:\temp> $a.attributes = ($a.attributes -band 0xFEFF)
    PS D:\temp> $a.attributes
    Archive
    PS D:\temp>
    PS D:\temp> fsutil usn readdata myfile.pdf

    Major Version    : 0x2
    Minor Version    : 0x0
    FileRef#         : 0x011d00000000bc6e
    Parent FileRef#  : 0x0001000000000027
    Usn              : 0x0000000000000000
    Time Stamp       : 0x0000000000000000 12:00:00 AM 1/1/1601
    Reason           : 0x0
    Source Info      : 0x0
    Security Id      : 0x0
    File Attributes  : 0x20
    File Name Length : 0x14
    File Name Offset : 0x3c
    FileName         : myfile.pdf
    PS D:\temp>

    Once you remove the file attribute Temporary from the file and dropped the file back into DFS folder...it worked.  The file should replicate properly. 

    Hope it helps.

    Hi Yuvi,

    I am afraid that you may need to write a script or code for this multiple file task.

    Hello Scorpio

    We have executed the below powershel command for flag file clearing

    "get-childitem Z:\Share1$ -Recurse | ForEach-Object -Process {if (($_.attributes -band 0x100) -eq 0x100) {$_.attributes = ($_.attributes -band 0xFEFF)}}"

    we have many folders and file that are confidential dont have administrator rights, when we execute the above command we are getting access denied and the flag file type is not changing.

    Is there any other option to execute the command for all the folders.

    Yuvi
