DFSR replication server is stopping communication

Ok I am not fully failure with DFSR but here Is the error I am getting from my health report from my server:
DFSR
Event ID: 2147488662
The DFS Replication service is stopping communication with partner HOLYROODDC-2012 for
replication group Domain System Volume due to an error. The service will retry the connection
periodically.

this is a rather simple network with 2 windows 2012R2 server as DC's both onsite (no offsite servers) I am just not to familure with this error.

Hi,
Did this warning occur when we backed up our files? If yes, we don’t pay attention to this warning, for Backup tools may need to terminate the replication temporarily to avoid
the conflict and complete the backup task. The replication will be resumed automatically without intervention after the backup.
Best regards,

DFSR Event 5014 - DFS Replication service is stopping communication

Hi,
I seem to be having issues with the DFSR warnings in the event log. I receive the below warning every 5 minutes:
"The DFS Replication service is stopping communication with partner 'Servername' for replication group Domain System Volume due to an error. The service will retry the connection periodically.
Additional Information:
Error: 1726 (the remote procedure call failed.)"
The errors are immediately followed by an information entry (5004) stating that a connection was successfully established but then the warning repeats after 5 minutes again. Replication does actually seem to be working fine and the SYSVOL shares on both
domain controllers are identical.
I have run diagnostic reports from the DFS Management snapin and the only error reported is that
"The DFS Replication service is restarting frequently".
I have disabled TCP Offloading on the server as per other suggestions which doesn;t seem to have made a difference.
For reference, the domain controllers are in separate sites connected via site-to-site VPN. The AD sites are configured with the correct subnets and the WAN/VPN connection seems stable as I am getting consistent 87ms ping responses.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Charlie.

Although I haven't specifically run into this, doing a Bing search I have seen a common theme that if there is a firewall between the two it drops the connection after a set period of inactivity. You might want to investigate that possibility.

Event ID: 5014, 5004 The DFS Replication Service is stopping communication with partner / Error 1726 (The remote procedure call failed.)

I'm replicating between two servers in two sites (Server A - Server 2012 R2 STD, Server B - Server 2008 R2) over a VPN (Sonicwall Firewall). Though the initial replication seems to be
happening it is very slow (the folder in question is less than 3GB). I'm seeing these in the event viewer every few minutes:
The DFS Replication service is stopping communication with partner PPIFTC for replication group FTC due to an error. The service will retry the connection periodically.
Additional Information:
Error: 1726 (The remote procedure call failed.)
and then....
The DFS Replication service successfully established an inbound connection with partner PPIFTC for replication group FTC.
Here are all my troubleshooting steps (keep in mind that our VPN is going through a SonicWall <--I increased the TCP timeout to 24 hours):
-Increased TCP Timeout to 24 hours
-Added the following values on both sending and receiving members and rebooted server
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

Type = DWORD
Data = 1

---------------------------------more troubleshooting--------------------------
-Disabled AntiVirus on both members
-Made sure DFSR TCP ports 135 & 5722 are open
-Installed all hotfixes for 2008 R2 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968429) and rebooted
-Ran NETSTAT –ANOBP TCP and the DFS executable results are listed below:

I've done a lot of research on the Internet and most of it is pointing to the same stuff I've tried. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Maybe I need to look somewhere
else on the server side or firewall side?
I tried replicating from a 2012 R2 server to another 2012 server and am getting the same events in the event log so maybe it's not a server issue.
Some other things I'm wondering:
-Could it be the speed of the NICs? Server A is a 2012 Server that has Hyper-V installed. NIC teaming was initially setup and since Hyper-V is installed the NIC is a "vEthernet
(Microsoft Network Adapter Multiplexor Driver Virtual Switch) running at a speed of 10.0Gbps whereas Server B is running a single NIC at 1.0Gbps
-Could occasional ping timeout's cause the issue? From time to time I get a timeout but it's not as often as the events I'm seeing. I'm getting 53ms pings. The folder
is only 3 GB so it shouldn't take that long to replicate but it's been days. The schedule I have set for replication is mostly all day except for our backup times which start at 11pm-5am. Throughout the rest of the time I have it set anywhere from
4Mbps to 64 Kbps. Server A is on a 5mb circuit and Server B is on a 10mb circuit.

I'm seeing the same errors, all servers are running 2008 R2 x64. Across multiple sites, VPN is steady and reliably.
185 events from 12:28:21 to 12:49:25
Events are for all five servers (one per office, five total offices, no two in the same city, across three states).
Events are not limited to one replication group. I have quite a few replication groups, so I don't know for sure but I'm running under the reasonable assumption that none are spared.
Reminder from original post (and also, yes, same for me), the error is: Error: 1726 (The remote procedure call failed.)
Some way to figure out what code triggers an Event ID 5014, and what code therein specifies an Error 1726, would extremely helpful. Trying random command line/registry changes on live servers is exceptionally unappealing.
Side note, 1726 is referenced here:
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/976442?wa=wsignin1.0
But it says, "This RPC connection problem may be caused by an unstable WAN connection." I don't believe this is the case for my system.
It also says...
For most RPC connection problems, the DFS Replication service will try to obtain the files again without logging a warning or an error in the DFS Replication log. You can capture the network trace to determine whether the cause of the problem is at the network
layer. To examine the TCP ports that the DFS Replication service is using on replication partners, run the following command in a
Command Prompt window:
NETSTAT –ANOBP TCP
This returns all open TCP connections. The connections in question are "DFSRs.exe", which the command won't let you filter for.
Instead, I used the NETSTAT command as advertised, dumping output to info.txt:
NETSTAT -ANOBP TCP >> X:\info.txt
Then I opened Excel and manually opened the .TXT for the open wizard. I chose fixed-width fields based on the first row for each result, and then added a column:
=IF(A3="Can not", "Can not obtain ownership information", IF(LEFT(A3,1) = "[", A3&B3&C3, ""))
Dragging this down through the entire file let me see that row (Row F) as the file name. Some anomalies were present but none impacted DFSrs.exe results.
Finally, you can sort/filter (I sorted because I like being able to see everything, should I choose to) to get just the results you need, with the partial rows removed from the result set, or bumped to the end.
My server had 125 connections open.
That is a staggering number of connections to review, and I feel like I'm looking for a needle in a haystack.
I'll see if I can find anything useful out, but a better solution would be most wonderful.

DFSR replication stopped between sites after all servers updated (Event 1202)

Hello,
I'm afraid, i will greatly appreciate any help on this one.
I'm working on it since 2 days without success (I read many thread without help).
So the fact:
I have 2 AD (2008 R2) on site 1 and 2 AD (2008 R2) on site 2.
I have also 2 files servers (2008) on site 1 and 2 files servers (2008 R2) on site 2.
The files servers run DFS system.
DFS Namespace is host on all AD.
DFS Replication and share are on all files servers.
After update all my servers. I got a big problem.
Communication between files servers and AD of site 2 isn't working properly now.
By this fact, DFSR is not working anymore between site 1 (all seem fine on this site) and site 2.
DFSR on site 2, pop this events all time:
Event 1202 - Source DFSR
The DFS Replication service failed to contact domain controller to access configuration information. Replication is stopped. The service will try again during the next configuration polling cycle, which will occur in 60 minutes. This event can be caused
by TCP/IP connectivity, firewall, Active Directory Domain Services, or DNS issues.
Additional Information:
Error: 160 (One or more arguments are not correct.)
Event 1055 - Source GroupPolicy
The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows could not resolve the computer name. This could be caused by one of more of the following:
a) Name Resolution failure on the current domain controller.
b) Active Directory Replication Latency (an account created on another domain controller has not replicated to the current domain controller).
>dfsrdiag dumpadcfg
Operation Failed
>dfsrdiag pollad
Operation Failed
On ADs site 2, dcdiag /e don't reveal any issue.
I tried to install hotfix ref on this thread (without help) -> https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7d486eb5-6b03-471c-a4dc-65826e712fc3/dfsr-replication-event-id-1202-the-dfs-replication-service-failed-to-contact-domain-controller?forum=winserverfiles
I don't have issue with DNS (nslookup work fine).
Firewall are disable on all servers.
My problem looks a bit like here (but he don't speak about 2008 R2 - old article) -> blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2011/04/08/restrictions-for-unauthenticated-rpc-clients-the-group-policy-that-punches-your-domain-in-the-face.asp

Cannot add multiple members of a failover cluster to a DFSR replication group

Server 2012 RTM. I have two physical servers, in two separate data centers 35 miles apart, with a GbE link over metro fibre between them. Both have a large (10TB+) local RAID storage arrays, but given the physical separation there is no physical shared storage.
The hosts need to be in a Windows failover cluster (WSFC), so that I can run high-availability VMs and SQL Availability Groups across these two hosts for HA and DR. VM and SQL app data storage is using a SOFS (scale out file server) network share on separate
servers.
I need to be able to use DFSR to replicate multi-TB user data file folders between the two local storage arrays on these two hosts for HA and DR. But when I try to add the second server to a DFSR replication group, I get the error:
The specified member is part of a failover cluster that is already a member of the replication group. You cannot add multiple members for the same cluster to a replication group.
I'm not clear why this has to be a restriction. I need to be able to replicate files somehow for HA & DR of the 10TB+ of file storage. I can't use a clustered file server for file storage, as I don't have any shared storage on these two servers. Likewise
I can't run a HA single DFSR target for the same reason (no shared storage) - and in any case, this doesn't solve the problem of replicating files between the two hosts for HA & DR. DFSR is the solution for replicating files storage across servers with
non-shared storage.
Why would there be a restriction against using DFSR between multiple hosts in a cluster, so long as you are not trying to replicate folders in a shared storage target accessible to both hosts (which would obviously be a problem)? So long as you are not replicating
folders in c:\ClusterStorage, there should be no conflict.
Is there a workaround or alternative solution?

Yes, I read that series. But it doesn't address the issue. The article is about making a DFSR target highly available. That won't help me here.
I need to be able to use DFSR to replicate files between two different servers, with those servers being in a WSFC for the purpose of providing other clustered services (Hyper-V, SQL availability groups, etc.). DFSR should not interfere with this, but it
is being blocked between nodes in the same WSFC for a reason that is not clear to me.
This is a valid use case and I can't see an alternative solution in the case where you only have two physical servers. Windows needs to be able to provide HA, DR, and replication of everything - VMs, SQL, and file folders. But it seems that this artificial
barrier is causing us to need to choose either clustered services or DFSR between nodes. But I can't see any rationale to block DFSR between cluster nodes - especially those without shared storage.
Perhaps this blanket block should be changed to a more selective block at the DFSR folder level, not the node level.

more than enough. Any idea why this might have started?

Yes, 5 is minimum threshold for Office KMS.
Do you have exactly 5 Office KMSclients, or more?
The current_count will stop incrementing at double the minimum (in this case 5 x 2 = 10)
This KMShost should be working fine. You should check the event logs on the KMShost, and also on the Office client.

Enqueue replication server does not terminate after failover

Hi,
We are trying to setup high availability of enqueue server where in we have running enqueue server on node-A and ERS on node-B all the time.
Whenever enqueue is stopped on node-A, it automatically failovers on node-B but after replication of lock table, enqueue does not terminate the ERS running on node-B and as a result our enqueue and ERS both keeps running on the same host (Failover node-B) which should not be the case.
We havenu2019t configured polling in that scenario SAP note-1018968 depicts the same however this is applicable only for version-640 and 700.
Ideally when enqueue server switches to node-B, it should terminate the ERS on the same node after replication and then HA software would take care of its restart on node -A.
We have ERS running of version 701; could anyone please let me know if the same behaviour is common for 701 version as well?
Or there is any additional configuration to be done to make it working.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers !!!
Ashish

Hi Naveed,
Stopping ERS is suppose to be taken care by SAP only and not the HA software.
Once ERS stops on node -B there would be a fault reported and as a result HA software will restart the ERS on node A.
Please refer to a section of SAP Note 1018968 - 'Enqueue replication server does not terminate after failover'
"Therefore, the cluster software must only organise the restart of the replication server and does not need to do anything for the shutdown."
Another blog about the same:
http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/veritas-cluster-server-sap
- After the successful lock table takeover, the Enqueue Replication Server will fault on this node (initiated by SAP). Veritas Cluster Server recognizes this failure and initiates a failover to a remaining node to create SAP Enqueue redundancy again. The Enqueue Replication Server will receive the complete Enqueue table from the Enqueue Server (SCS) and later Enqueue lock updates in a synchronous fashion.
So it is nothing about HA software, it is the SAP which should control ERS on node-B.
Cheers !!!

Microsoft Exchange Replication Service keep stopping

Not sure what is going on here. The replication service keep stopping on one of my servers within the DAG. I cant think of anything different about this server compared to others (anything known at least). This server sits at our DR facility and is the host
of the 3rd copy to a few of our databases, which primary and secondary ones live at our HQ. The application log reports this every 5-10 seconds
Watson report about to be sent for process id: 31860, with parameters: E12IIS, c-RTL-AMD64, 15.00.0995.029, msexchangerepl, M.Exchange.Common, M.E.C.H.DatabaseFailureItem.Parse, System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException, fe19, 15.00.0995.012.
ErrorReportingEnabled: False
The system log reports this every 5-10 seconds also:
The Microsoft Exchange Replication service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 5000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
I have ran windows update, and it seems that every time I reboot the machine, the shutdown tracker comes up. I think it has something to do with hardware, but no idea where to look next.

Hi,
This issue occurred because Microsoft Exchange Replication Services Was Unable to Write In "Microsoft-Exchange-MailboxDatabaseFailureItems/Operational"
The fix for the issue will be available in next cumulative update. Meanwhile, please follow the steps below for a workaround to resolve the issue. This workaround is to clear the entries log storing mailbox database failure items.
On problem server, open command prompt in administrator privileges.
Run following command to clear the even entries from the log
Wevtutil.exe cl "Microsoft-Exchange-MailboxDatabaseFailureItems/Operational"
Best Regards.

Happened to me.Drove me crazy. Turns out, iMac can fix itself.
Go to system preferences then network and select the connection (wireless or ethernet) that you want to use.At the bottom of the box you'll find "Assist me". click that and follow the prompts. it will likely telly you that your settings are screwed up (surprise) and ask if you want to fix them or let DHCP do it. Just let DHCP do it.

Last Contact with Server - Client Quit Communicating with Server

Hi,
Is there anyone with the same problem we're experiencing below?
6 Windows 7 clients and 1 Windows XP client (10.2.2)
All 6 Windows 7 clients quit communicating with the server after a while.
Last contact with server time stamp doesn't change on both the client and
server. Next contact with server does, but the client doesn't refresh. If I
try to remote control, I can't. If I assign a new bundle, it doesn't work.
However, I can login to the Zen agent.
I can unregister the client locally and reregister and the client will
communicate with the server for a while and it will then stop communicating
again after several hours or couple days.
All but the sole Windows XP client are having this issue. Windows XP client
is also the first client registered in the server.
thanks

I've only had my iphone 5s for a week. I keep getting an error message of "Server has stopped responding." I need the server to work. Does anyone know if there is a "fix" for the problem? Other wise, I probably best return for a refund and get a Samsung.

Unlikely. Based on the complete lack of detail of the issue provided it is entirely possible the same issue would occur.
Unless and until the user provides some actual details of the problem, there is nothing the indicate that the issue is with the iPhone.

ITunes Seem to Have Suddenly Stopped Communicating With the CD/DVD Burner

Hello, I wonder if anybody can help - my itunes application seems to have suddenly stopped communicating with my laptop's cd/dvd burner
(Generic Name (E: H - T-S D D A S - 20N ATA Device)).
About 2 years ago, I have experienced a similar problem, but was able to resolve it by downloading 64-bit compatible GEAR drivers to my system. However, the problem has re-appeared when I have updated to iTunes Version 10.1. Funny enough, the cd/dvd burner started getting recognized again when I updated to iTunes Version 10.2, but halfway through me burning a large playlist to multiple cds has suddenly stopped recognizing the cd/dvd burner again, and has never "resolved itself" ever since.
I have tried multiple approaches to solving this issue, including completely re-installing itunes software and completely re-installing GEAR drivers, but nothing works. I have even tried uninstalling GEAR drivers completely, as I read that it worked for someone on one of the similar forums, but that didn't work either.
My itunes diagnostics runs all the points of the cd/dvd drive check successfully, except for the last point (Can Not Read Audio CD). Here's what the diagnostics summary looks like:

I have noticed that the diagnostics summary containes a suggestion to update firmware of my laptop's cd/dvd drive, but currently there are no such firmware updates available.
Another frustrating issue that I ran into was trying to convey this issue to Apple Technical Support via e-mail using the Express Lane for the troubleshooting issues. I really fail to understand why I am being asked for the "hardware serial number" when I'm clearly choosing the categories for "iTunes/CD-DVD Import Issues" which are software, not hardware, categories! This prevents me from being able to simply send the description of my problem to the correct Apple Support department, and does not let me do that even when I enter my itunes' Serial Number, which can be found in the diagnostics summary provided above.
Much Thanks to anyone who can provide any kind of helpful advice, even if it's just on how to be able to convey this problem to Apple Support via e-mail!

Okay ... checking something else:
Current user is not an administrator
Is that true? Or do you in fact have a Windows user account with full administrative rights?
(It's possible that a permission may have gone astray in your usual user account, which might be causing the burning issues.)

I would like to know which apple server dictation connects to so that my proxy server will stop blocking it. Which apple server does it connect too?

I would presume so, but it might be worth your while to experiment and play around with different combinations to see if you can block FaceTime while keeping Game Center open. Good luck!

Mail Server suddenly stopped working

My mail server has stopped working, and I can't figure out why. This is a brand new MacMini with the latest Maverics Server (preinstalled) that I just setup last month. (We migrated from an Xserve running 10.6.) Up to this point, mail has worked flawlessly.
This afternoon I used the Server app to create a new user. I then went about setting them up for ssh access and installing a public/private keypair (this is for a git repository). Around the same time, my mail server simply stopped working. As far as I know, no other configuration changes were made.
When I go into the Mail service in the Server app the status perpetually says "Starting...". The 'postfix status' command says that postfix is not running. I've checked every log and error file, and I can only find three anomolies:
The SMTP log file reports:
Feb 11 01:31:06 mail.gloaming.com postfix/postmap[7152]: warning: /Library/Server/Mail/Data/scanner/amavis/local_domains.db: duplicate entry: "mail.gloaming.com"
This warning has been logged before, several weeks earlier, so I assume it's not a serious problem.
The other warning is:
Feb 11 00:10:49 mail.gloaming.com postfix/postfix-script[23141]: warning: not owned by _postfix: /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mta/./guid_device_maps.plist
Other threads seem to indicate that this warning is benign.
The only other problem that looks really suspicious (to me) is in the system.log:
Feb 11 01:22:52 mail.gloaming.com ocspd[4947]: ERROR: unable to get the receiver data from the DB!
I'm not sure what that means, but it doesn't sound good.
Some threads point a finger at the virus and junk mail scanners. If I disable all mail filtering, the mail server status will finally change to "Serving mail at mail.gloaming.com". But it isn't. All attempts to get mail from the server are refused.
(Oh, and I've restarted the server several times.)
The postconf command tells me that the postfix system isn't accepting outside connections:
inet_interfaces = loopback-only
So it would appear that Server is setting this. Any attempt to change it back to "= all" fails, as the server software overwrites it with "= loopback-only" at its first possible opportunity. (Editing the main.cf file and reloading postfix doesn't fix it either.)
Here's the really strange part. The server just started do this today. I recovered a backup of the main.cf file from yesterday and diffed it with the one that's not working:
mail:postfix root# diff /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/main.cf /Users/admin/Desktop/main.cf
675c675
< inet_interfaces = loopback-only
> inet_interfaces = all
682c682
< smtpd_helo_restrictions = reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname reject_invalid_helo_hostname
> smtpd_helo_restrictions = reject_invalid_helo_hostname reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname
692c692
< mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, mail.gloaming.com
> mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, mail.gloaming.com, $mydomain
712d711
< postscreen_dnsbl_sites = zen.spamhaus.org*2
As you can see, the Server software has deliberatly started setting inet_interfaces to loopback-only and I can't figure out how to get it to set it back to "all".
Some of the other threads have suggested "wipe and reinstall", but I've spent three weeks setting up this sever and shipping it to a co-location facility—starting over really isn't an option.
I'd really just want to know why the Server software is suddently configuring the mail server so it won't receive any mail!

The mystery continues.
This morning, I decided to take a fresh look at what's going on by recovering a backup copy of my entire /Library/Server/Mail/Config directory from last month. Looking at the item capture list, it shows that none of the files in my Mail/Config directory have changed since late last month.
Here are the disturbing changes.
In Server/Mail/Config/dovecot/dovecot.conf, there is one different line.
working:
     protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve
now:
     protocols = lmtp sieve
So clearly, the server doesn't think we should be running IMAP or POP. Which is probably the root of the problem.
In Server/Mail/Config/postfix/mail.cf, there are a number of minor/cosmetic differences, but the problematic ones appear to be
working:
     inet_interfaces = all
     mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, mail.gloaming.com, $mydomain
now:
     inet_interfaces = loopback-only
     mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, mail.gloaming.com
Again, this configuration would imply that there are no public mail services.
Some other odd change occured in the Server/Mail/Config/postfix/main.cf file
working:
     smtpd     pass -       -       n       -       -       smtpd
     pickup    fifo n       -       n       60      1       pickup
          -o content_filter=smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024
now:
     smtpd     pass -       -       n       -       -       smtpd
          -o receive_override_options=no_address_mappings
     pickup    fifo n       -       n       60      1       pickup
          -o content_filter=
Reading through some other posts, I also found another inexplicable change reported by other users having similar problems. The /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postfix.master.plist suddenly changed.
working:
    <key>OnDemand</key>
    <false/>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>master</string>
        <string>-c</string>
        <string>/Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix</string>
    </array>
now:
    <key>OnDemand</key>
    <true/>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>master</string>
        <string>-c</string>
        <string>/Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix</string>
        <string>-e</string>
        <string>60</string>
    </array>
The postfix service is now "OnDemand" with a new, and myserious, "-e 60" option added. (I can find no documentation for an -e option in the postfix control tool.)
Ultimately, I "fixed" the problem by restoring the backup copy of my entire /Library/Server/Mail/Config folder, the /System/Library/LaunchDaemon/org.postfix.master.plist file, and immedately restarting the server. The mail servers started and everything appears to be normal.
But this whole experience has made me very learly of the Server app. Why did these configuration changes occur? What settings or circumstances caused them to spontaniously change to an, essentually, unusable state? I'm now afriad of making any changes via Server.app for fear it will decide I shouldn't have a working mail server again.
If anyone has any insights, I'd ver very interested in hearing them.

How to completly delete DFSR replication group in Windows 2008 R2?

I just relete a DFSR replication group from DFS management console. Now I need to recreate it but it says the replication group already existed.
So that mean there is still trace of that replication group. How can I delete it completely (but I keep the namespace)?

Like John said, it's possible it hadn't replicated yet.
You could also go into ADSI and see if there are still objects under CN=Topology,CN=(Your Namespace), cn=DFSR-GlobalSettings,CN=System,DC=domain,DC=com.

DFSR replication server is stopping communication
