Title
Subfolders appear in the netlogon share with _NTFRS_ appended to the folder name -
Description
When replicating to multiple targets from the Desktop Authority Console with the "Copy subfolders" option enabled, the subfolder being replicated may become erroneously duplicated in the Netlogon share of all listed target servers.
-
Cause
When this issue occurs, the replicated subfolders will appear as "Subfolder_NTFRS_
" (where represents the GUID of the folder and appears as a unique character string such as "001a8b42"). This issue will only manifest itself in an Active Directory domain. The issue is caused by the manner in which NTFRS (NT File Replication System) handles simultaneous copies to multiple targeted Netlogon shares.
-
Resolution
To resolve this issue, select only one server as a replication target in the Desktop Authority Server Manager applet.
Note: Only one replication partner (or target server) should be selected for the entire domain even if the domain contains multiple Active Directory Sites.
