We have 2 server 2008 R2 DFS machines, both Domain controllers and both replicating.

I have installed Server 2012 R2 DFS as member server and added it to the group: in nampespace and in replication.

Problem is the replication share on new server (2012) shows updated replicated data, but the actual root location does not.

Confusing: so for example, if i navigate out to (on 2012 server) d:\dfsroot\dfs (root folder i created to host dfs data), this data is old and not updating.

BUT if i go to \\2012-server\dfs (share), dfs is updated.

The problem is, some users see this updated data and others dont. 

What is going on? Please help!

thanks

This is something that I put together to transfer network shares from an old Windows Server to a newer one. Check it out. Might help.

Hi Saif Ahmad,

Thanks for your post.

Could you please check are there any DFS Replication Events in the event log when the problem happened?

And try the wait for a time to see whether the replication succeed finally or not. May be the Replication Latency.

In addition, your could use DFS Replication Health Reports to monitor if there's error between the DFS servers.
