First post had no takers???

All,

We have some issues where folders with DFS-R implemented have what I
call "relapse".  Here are some symptoms.  We can add files and folders,
no problem.  We can change file names, no problem.  When we rename
folders, we have a problem - many times, the folder name reverts back to
the old name.  It will take us 3-5 tries before the rename "takes".
Sometimes, when we modify a file, later that day, the file reverts back
to the original status (e.g. an Excel spreadsheet with added data).  Not
all our folders and files exhibit this issue.

Has anyone come across these symptoms and/or have recommendations?

Our setup has 2 sites, with a domain controller/file server in each,
Win2k3 R2, with at least 100Mb connectivity between sites.  The folders
replicated are about 180G of data total, but the daily changes are very
minimal (my
guess is 100M/day max).  We don't schedule the replication due to the
abundant bandwidth.

Actually, we do schedule one folder to replicate at night because that
folder has been giving me the most issues.  Since I have changed from
instant replication to a scheduled replication at night, the problem
seems to have been alleviated.  However, all the other folders require
immediate replication.  Any insights are very welcome!

Thank you!
