You will do this in the following task. Task 7: Create a Diagnostic Report In this task, you create a diagnostic report to check the status of replication. The type of diagnostic report you create in this task is a health report. The health report is an. This report includes error and warning events, replication statistics, backlogged files, and other information for each member of the replication group.
To create a diagnostic report 1. Follow the steps in the Diagnostic Report Wizard and supply the information in the following table. Path and Name Accept the defaults. Members to Include Accept the defaults. Options Ensure that Yes, count backlogged files in this report is selected, select the server that has the most up-to-date files from Reference Member, and then select the Count the replicated files and their sizes on each member check box.
Confirmation The wizard closes automatically, and the diagnostic report appears. Review the health report created for the Tools replication group. This savings will change over time as files are added and changed. Review any errors or warnings, if any, for the members. These are typically event log errors that appear in the member's respective DFS Replication event log. In the informational section for each member, review the replicated folder status the status will be "Normal" after initial replication is complete and other information.
Notice that the primary member will show different statistics from the non-primary member; this is because data originated from the primary member and replicated to the non-primary member during initial replication. The Diagnostic Report Wizard creates the health report by default. Note that you can set the wizard to perform the following operations as well: Run a propagation test. Create a propagation report. A propagation test measures replication progress by creating a test file in a replicated folder.
A propagation report provides information about the replication progress for the test file created during a propagation test. Task 8: Change How Targets Are Ordered in Referrals In this task, you change settings that optimize how targets are ordered in referrals. If you are not familiar with referrals, a referral is a list of targets that a client computer receives from a domain controller or namespace server when the user accesses a namespace root or folder with targets in the namespace.
The referral tells the client which servers host the associated root target or folder target. When the client then navigates to the Tools folder, which has folder targets, the client receives a folder referral that contains a list of folder targets that correspond to the Tools folder. Changing the ordering method is an important consideration in namespaces whose targets span sites.
For example, there might be situations in which you want to prevent the client from accessing targets outside of its own site. If so, you can configure the namespace root or folder with targets so that clients receive referrals only for targets within their own site. To further optimize how targets are listed in referrals, you can set target priority, which overrides the ordering method.
One common scenario for using target priority is when you have a "hot standby" server that is considered the server of last resort. In this scenario, you can specify that the standby server always appears last in referrals, and clients will fail over to this server only if all the other servers fail or become unavailable due to network outages.
In the following procedures, you verify the referral ordering method for the namespace and choose target priority of a folder target. To verify the referral ordering method for a namespace 1. On the Referrals tab, in Ordering method, verify that Lowest cost is selected. In the lowest cost ordering method, also called least expensive target selection or site costing in previous documentation, targets in a referral are ordered as follows: 1.
Targets in the same site as the client are listed in random order at the top of the referral. Referrals with the same cost are grouped together and within each group the targets are listed in random order.
This method ensures that clients do not traverse expensive wide area network WAN links to access targets when lower-cost targets are available. This ordering method works in both stand-alone and domain-based namespaces, as long as all namespace servers and all domain controllers are running Windows Server or Windows Server Note If you do not want clients to access folder targets outside of their site, you can override the ordering method for individual folders.
Note that if no same-site targets are available, the client fails to access the folder because no folder targets are returned in the referral. In the next procedure, you change the priority of one of the folder targets of the Tools folder. To change the priority of a folder target 1. In the details pane, on the Folder Targets tab, right-click one of the folder targets, and then click Properties.
On the Advanced tab, click Override referral ordering, and then click Last among all targets. Viewing referrals cached on the client is useful in troubleshooting scenarios. The following procedures assume you are performing these tasks from a client computer running Windows XP or Windows Server To browse to the namespace root and view the root referral 1. Windows Explorer opens and your view of the namespace looks similar to the following figure: 2.
In Windows Explorer, click the Folders button to display the Public root in the folder tree. In the folder tree, right-click Public, and then click Properties to open the Properties dialog box. On the DFS tab, review the paths listed under Referral list. These should match the root targets you created earlier in this guide. The target marked Active is the target currently connected to your client computer.
Click OK to close the dialog box. In Windows Explorer, double-click the Software folder. You should see two folders, Tools and Training Demos. Double-click the Tools folder to open it. In the folder tree, right-click the Tools folder, and then click Properties. These should match the folder targets you created earlier in this guide. The target marked Active is the target currently connected to your client computer, which should be a different target from the one you marked as Last among all targets when you set the target priority.
Click the Training Demos folder in the folder tree to open it. Notice that only one folder target is listed in the referral list. Your client computer is currently connected to this folder target.
Do the same for a server that hosts one of the folder targets for the Tools folder. After the network cards are disabled or the servers are turned off, repeat the procedures in "Task 9: Browse the Namespace.
Although it is not necessary to have completed the tasks in "Step-by-Step Guide to Deploying a Namespace," it is helpful to complete the previous section first so that you have an existing namespace in which to publish a replicated folder. These concepts—replication groups, connections, members, and replicated folders—are illustrated in the following figure. As this figure shows, a replication group is a set of servers, known as members, that participates in the replication of one or more replicated folders.
In the previous figure, there are two replicated folders, Projects and Proposals. As data changes in each replicated folder, the changes are replicated across connections between the members.
The connections between all members form the replication topology. Creating multiple replicated folders in a single replication group simplifies the process of deploying replicated folders, because the topology, schedule, and bandwidth throttling for the replication group are applied to each replicated folder.
To deploy additional replicated folders, you can use a short wizard to define the local path and permissions for the new replicated folder.
Each replicated folder also has its own settings, such as file and subfolder filters, so that you can filter out different files and subfolders for each replicated folder. The replicated folders stored on each member can be located on different volumes in the member, and the replicated folders do not need to be shared folders or part of a namespace, though the DFS Management snap-in makes it easy to share replicated folders and optionally publish them in an existing namespace.
You will do both in one of the tasks later in this guide. What to Expect During Initial Replication When you first set up replication, you must choose a primary member. Choose the member that has the most up-to-date files that you want replicated to all other members of the replication group, because the primary member's content is considered "authoritative. The following explanations will help you better understand the initial replication process: Initial replication does not begin immediately.
Initial replication always occurs between the primary member and the receiving replication partners of the primary member. After a member has received all files from the primary member, then that member will replicate files to its receiving partners as well. In this way, replication for a new replicated folder starts from the primary member and then progresses out to the other members of the replication group. If a file is identical to a file on the primary member, the file is not replicated.
To determine whether files are identical on the primary member and receiving member, DFS Replication compares the files using a hash algorithm. If the files are identical, only minimal metadata is transferred.
After the initialization of the replicated folder, the "primary member" designation is removed. The member that was previously the primary member is then treated like any other member and its files are no longer considered authoritative over those of other members that have completed initial replication.
Any member that has completed initial replication is considered authoritative over members that have not completed initial replication. Deploying DFS Replication The tasks in this section walk you through the process of deploying DFS Replication, adding a member to a replication group, publishing a replicated folder in a namespace, and creating a diagnostic report.
Important When you create a new replication group, replication does not begin immediately. The amount of time this takes depends on AD DS replication latency and each member's long polling interval 60 minutes.
Before you enable replication, you will create two folders on one of the servers to be added to the replication group. You will then add files to the folders. Add some files to each folder, but do not exceed the recommended limits described in the What are the supported limits of DFS Replication?
Optionally, create the same folders on the second server. You can add the same files or different files from the primary member. If you add the same files, the files will be used for prestaging and will not be re-replicated. If you want to observe how the primary member's content becomes authoritative during initial replication, use updated versions of the files you added to the primary member.
These updated files will be moved to the Conflict and Deleted folder on the non-primary members. Next, create a replication group to replicate files between the two servers. To create a replication group and two replicated folders 1. Follow the steps in the New Replication Group Wizard and supply the information in the following table. Replication Group Members Click Add to select at least two servers that will participate in replication. Use the name LOB Data for the replicated folder name.
Repeat this procedure and enter the local path of the Antivirus Signatures folder. Local Path of Antivirus Signatures on Other Members On this page, you specify the location of the Antivirus Signatures folder on the other members of the replication group.
To specify the path, click Edit, and then in the Edit dialog box, click Enabled, and then type the local path of the Antivirus Signatures folder. After you finish the New Replication Group Wizard, click the new replication group named Data Distribution located under the Replication node in the console tree as shown in the following figure: Notice the four tabs in the details pane: Memberships, Connections, Replicated Folders, and Delegation.
Each of these tabs displays different details about the selected replication group, its members, and its replicated folders. Review the following details about each tab. On the Memberships tab, notice that entries on the tab are sorted by replicated folder and that there are two replicated folders listed. For example, the rows under the Replicated Folder: Antivirus Signatures heading are the members that host the Antivirus Signatures replicated folder.
Double-click a member to view per-member, per-replicated folder properties on the General, Replicated Folder, Staging, and Advanced tabs.
For example, on the Advanced tab, you can view the location and size of the staging folder and Conflict and Deleted folder on the selected member. On the Connections tab, two connections are listed.
Each connection is a one-way replication path, so replication between two members requires two connections that replicate data in the opposite direction. Each connection has a schedule and other settings, such as a check box for enabling or disabling remote differential compression RDC. Double-click a connection to view its settings.
On the Replicated Folders tab, notice that two replicated folders are listed and that they are not published in a namespace. Double-click a replicated folder to view its properties, such as file and subfolder filters. On the Delegation tab, review the default users and groups granted permissions to manage the replication group. Any users or groups shown as "Inherited" have inherited management permissions from AD DS, and you cannot remove them from the delegation list using the DFS Management snap-in.
Task 2: Add a New Member to a Replication Group In this task, you add a third server to the Data Distribution replication group and specify where one of the two replicated folders, Antivirus Signatures, will be stored on the new member.
You also will create a custom schedule that applies only to the connections to and from the new member.
Important Replication does not begin immediately on the new member. The DFS Replication settings for the new member must be replicated to all domain controllers, and each member in the replication group must poll its closest domain controller to obtain these settings. The amount of time this takes depends on AD DS replication latency, the short polling interval 5 minutes on the new member, and the long polling interval 60 minutes on existing members.
To add a new member to the Data Distribution replication group 1. Follow the steps in the New Member Wizard and supply the information in the following table. Video Hub Azure. Microsoft Business.
