Just wondering if anyone has seen this? We occasionally see errors in the event 
log on our DC's under File Replication Service Event id 13559. The error states 
the following:

The File Replication Service has detected that the replica root path has 
changed from "c:\winnt\sysvol\domain" to "c:\winnt\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)" 
 
Changing the replica root path is a two step process which is triggered by the 
creation of the NTFRS_CMD_FILE_MOVE_ROOT file. 
 
 [1] At the first poll which will occur in 60 minutes this computer will be 
deleted from the replica set. 
 [2] At the poll following the deletion this computer will be re-added to the 
replica set with the new root path. This re-addition will trigger a full tree 
sync for the replica set. At the end of the sync all the files will be at the 
new location. The files may or may not be deleted from the old location 
depending on whether they are needed or not. 

The fix is to create the NTFRS_CMD_FILE_MOVE_ROOT file in 
C:\winnt\sysvol\domain. This works however we did not change the path of the 
replica root. I have seen this happen several times and have applied the fix 
just wondering why this would keep happening.

Thanks
