Hi,
If some files are out of sync, you should first check if replication is working as expected.
If DFSR is still working but just missed some files, you may need to check if they have specific attributes such as Temporary.
We can use Fsutil to check the un-replicated file for Temporary Attribute on the File.
For example:
fsutil usn readdata c:\data\test.txt
Major Version : 0x2
Minor Version : 0x0
FileRef# : 0x0021000000002350
Parent FileRef# : 0x0003000000005f5e
Usn : 0x000000004d431000
Time Stamp : 0x0000000000000000 12:00:00 AM 1/1/1601
Reason : 0x0
Source Info : 0x0
Security Id : 0x5fb
File Attributes : 0x120
File Name Length : 0x10
File Name Offset : 0x3c
FileName : test.txt
File Attributes is a bitmask that indicates which attributes are set. In the above example, 0x120 indicates the temporary attribute is set because that is 0x100 and 0x20 (Archive) = 0x120.
Here are the possible values:
READONLY 0x1
HIDDEN 0x2
SYSTEM 0x4
DIRECTORY 0x10
ARCHIVE 0x20
DEVICE 0x40
NORMAL 0x80
TEMPORARY 0x100
SPARSE_FILE 0x200
REPARSE_POINT 0x400
COMPRESSED 0x800
OFFLINE 0x1000
NOT_CONTENT_INDEXED 0x2000
ENCRYPTED 0x4000
How to removing the Temporary Attribute from Multiple Files with Powershell:
To remove the temporary attribute, we can use PowerShell which can be installed from here. After PowerShell is installed, please open Powershell prompt (Start, Run, Powershell or from the Programs menu) and run this command to remove the temporary attribute
from all files in the specified directory, including subdirectories (in this example, D:\Data):
Get-childitem D:\Data -recurse | ForEach-Object -process {if (($_.attributes -band 0x100) -eq 0x100) {$_.attributes = ($_.attributes -band 0xFEFF)}}
Note: If you don’t want it to work against subdirectories just remove the -recurse parameter.
