I've got a DFS replica set which is basically working but Ultrasound tells me that I have 757 files in sharing violation for more than a day (there are over 400,000 files in total). Looking in the frs-staging folder for the relevant server there are 699 files which are time stamped at the times shown by Ultrasound and the replica folder on that server does have at least some of the files listed in Ultrasound missing.
I've looked at KB 822300 but it doesn't really help. I can't use "install override" because this server is running Windows 2000. I've used both process explorer and handle from sysinternals and, as far as I can tell, none of the files are being held open on either the source or the destination server (and I'm assuming I only really need to look at the destination - the files are in the frs-staging folder there) I've tried stopping and restarting ntfrs; I've even restarted the server in case something was somehow holding the files open but was hidden. What can I try? One thing which occurs to me is to delete the files which are failing to replicate from the "hub" server (the replica set is configured as hub and spoke and this server is one of the spokes) and see if that clears the problem. I could then just restore the missing files.
