I have a DFS setup, one of the replicated servers is being decommissioned and I'm replacing it with a new server. Since the Volume previously had DFS on it I need to remove System Volume Information\DFSR directory.
I ran
'RD "Z:\System Volume Information\DFSR" -Recurse -Force'
in powershell and got the path is to long. In my search I found to do it from good old CMD
I ran '
rmdir /S /Q "Z:\System Volume Information\DFSR
and got
"The path Z:\System Volume Information\DFSR\Private\{71985F34-9F35-4C79-9E36-9CE7CA24FE2E}-{765A4760-6EC4-4575-9AA6-78E1AC8E459D}\Staging\ContentSet{71985F34-9F35-4C79-9E36-9CE7CA24FE2E}-{765A4760-6EC4-4575-9AA6-78E1AC8E459D}\95\100495-{9E6FA31E-B9C2-44C6-B0CE-5F50AC5896FD}-v100495-{9E6FA31E-B9C2-44C6-B0CE-5F50AC5896FD}-v100495-Downloaded.frx is too long."Is there a way to clean the DFSR partition, for I can preseed it to the new server?
The only work around I came up with, would be to robocopy it off the drive, format it than robocopy it back. I'm hoping there is a better way.
Thanks
