About this tag
DFSR (Distributed File System Replication) is a Windows Server feature used to replicate folders, including SYSVOL, across multiple domain controllers. Common issues discussed include resetting DFSR replication without data loss on Windows Server 2016, replication failures after migration from SBS2011 to Server 2019, and DFSR not replicating SYSVOL in multi-DC environments. Users also report problems like replicated files being deleted on all nodes, replication stopping after a dirty shutdown, and high CPU usage after adding members to a replication group. Troubleshooting steps often involve authoritative and non-authoritative syncs, checking DFS management tests, and applying Microsoft hotfixes.
