file replication

About this tag
File replication in Windows environments often relies on tools like DFSR (Distributed File System Replication) and Robocopy. Discussions cover DFSR not replicating SYSVOL folders across domain controllers, with issues such as initial sync states persisting despite authoritative or non-authoritative sync attempts. Another topic involves a Robocopy command (robocopy /sec /mir) incorrectly updating DACLs during file replication on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, which can lead to permission problems. These threads highlight common troubleshooting scenarios for file replication in Windows Server, including replication failures and command-line tool behavior.
