Not sure if this is the right answer.😊
But what I believe one of your site (first that you install), that site syncs with the CAS for all MDM related data. Once that site gets updated it will re-init the tables and that’s when it gets updated. This is what we saw in our enviroment, let me find the query which will tell me which site has this role configured and i will share it. /SAM Subject: Re: [mssms] Resolved: RE: SCCM 2012 R2 - Database replication - Link is being configured - Hung From: [email protected] Date: Wed, 6 Nov 2013 19:01:23 -0500 To: [email protected] I'm thinking, pure speculation that a single site might not exhibit this issue. Multiple sites being out of sync is a definite cause for alarm.

Even with the link being configured message on database replication, I was able to create collections on Tier1/2 and they flowed back and forth. It looks like a UI bug to me. That false status just hangs around forever until the primary is also upgraded to R2. We have another lab that is being uprgraded tomorrow that is SCCM 2012 SP1 CU2, and I’m curious to see if that also has the same issue/message. Thank you.

Very cool blog by the way. I think you have a few typos in it though: SELECT * FROM RCM_InitializationTracking WHERE ReplicationGroup = ‘Configuration Data’ and SiteRequesting = ‘<SiteCode of failed site>’ Should be SELECT * FROM RCM_dRSInitializationTracking WHERE ReplicationGroup = 'Configuration Data' and SiteRequesting = ‘<SiteCode of failed site>’ UPDATE RCM_InitializationTracking SET InitializationStatus =7 WHERE RequestTrackingGUID = <Some GUID> Should be UPDATE RCM_dRSInitializationTracking SET InitializationStatus =7 WHERE RequestTrackingGUID = <Some GUID> SELECT * FROM vLog Should be Select * FROM vlogs This whole replication is really a black hole, there are some articles, but still very confusing. Here is another good article I found. http://blogs.technet.com/b/sudheesn/archive/2012/10/21/drs-initialization-in-configuration-manager-2012.aspx Thank you.

It’s been like this for 8 hours, so something ain’t right. The CAS to the child primary (SCCM 2012 SP1, NO CU’s) database replication is set for active, only getting the message above on the primary back to the CAS. If I look at the Initialization Detail I see succeeded 100% and the times all are current. I do see 2 Replication Groups which I believe are new to R2: CFD_Global MDM_Global These 2 say succeeded, but are at 0% and have no client or parent send/receive times. I’m running SCCM 2012 SP1 (NO CU) on the primary. The plan was to upgrade it after the CAS, but I have the message above and need to resolve that first. Thank you.
