Hi!
I have a weird problem, our DFSR have stopped working on one of our servers. We have seven remote2008 R2 file servers that is synchronizing to one Server 2012 R2 server à la Hub and Spoke.
I ran Get-DFSRState and saw that many files had the updatestate Blocked. So I ran this command:
Get-DfsrState | ? SourceComputerName -Match TheServerThatIsFailing01 | Group-Object updatestate Count Name Group ----- ---- ----- 144 Waiting {Microsoft.DistributedFileSystemReplication.DfsrUpdate, Microsoft.DistributedFileSystemReplication.DfsrUpdate, Microsoft.Distribute... 267 Scheduled {Microsoft.DistributedFileSystemReplication.DfsrUpdate, Microsoft.DistributedFileSystemReplication.DfsrUpdate, Microsoft.Distribute... 345 Blocked {Microsoft.DistributedFileSystemReplication.DfsrUpdate, Microsoft.DistributedFileSystemReplication.DfsrUpdate, Microsoft.Distribute...
I have no idea how to troubleshoot, there's free disk space available, no errors in event viewer.
Does any one know what blocked means? How do i troubleshoot ?
Thanks!
