Hi,
In our environment, we've 3 File servers which host the same NameSpace and the DFS target folder is \\contoso.com\FS\2013.
When all 3 servers are up and running, the files can be replicated successfully. However, if we turn off DFS Namespace and DFS Replication service on certain server, the files in DFS target folder is not match every time.
For example: We turn off DFS Namespace and DFS Replication service on server A.
1) Insert test.txt to \\contoso.com\FS\2013 on server B.
2) Access \\contoso.com\FS\2013 on server C which cannot find the file.
3) Access the folder on server A or another client machine, the file can be retrieved.
Is it caused by stopped DFS Namespace? any suggestions are apprecaited.
