DFSR with two members, both in Initial replication state?

We have in total 3 servers replicating a given folder, one server has its replication in a completely broken state because of some DB error on its volume.
Now, out of two servers for the above replicated folder, both are in Initial repliction, the state '2' as in the output of command - Wmic /namespace:\\root\microsoftdfs path dfsrreplicatedfolderinfo get replicationgroupname,replicatedfoldername,state
- Not any errors at all in the logs/diags.
Is this supposed to be in this state, under any circumstances? Should I wait for some more time (, in fact this condition existed for almost last two months with backlog counts growing in each direction) ? Or should I rush ahead and designate the server
with latest content as primay?
If I need to do something immediately, what is the best way to do it?

Hi,
As you said it is the result of corrupted DFSR database. Try following steps to reset it:
1. Stop and ALSO disable the DFSR service on a server you would like to set it as Primary (called ServerA) (don't just simply stop it)
2. In Windows Explorer open the specific drive
3. Right click on the "System Volume Information" directory and select Properties\Security
Note: You might need to select the option for "Show hidden files, folders or drives" and also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" in the folders view options to be able to even see the "System Volume Information" directory.
4. Grant your user account that you're logged in with (if a member of Administrators group this will also suffice) "Full Control" to the "System Volume Information" directory.
Note: You may get an error on setting security on some files - this is expected.
5. Open an elevated/Administrative command prompt. Switch to the "<drive letter>:\System Volume Information" directory
6. Type the command "rmdir DFSR /s"
7. Enable and re-start the DFSR service on <ServerA> server
8. We will then set the <ServerA> server as the Primary member with dfsradmin.exe utility –
Dfsradmin Membership Set /RGName:<RG Name> /RFName:<RF Name> /MemName:<Member Name> /IsPrimary:True
Note: Files will be replicated from ServerA to all other targets. So if there is any newer file on other target servers, backup before starting replication.

DFSR - This member is waiting for initial replication for replicated folder SYSVOL Share - How long should it take?

Yesterday we were forced to perform a non-authoritative sync of the SYSVOL folder as replication had stopped because one of the DCs had been disconnected from it's replication partner for more than 60 days (caused by a unexpected shutdown and we did not
pick up on the fact replication had stopped until now).
I performed the non-authoritative sync of the SYSVOL folder and now the folder is in state 2
ReplicatedFolderName ReplicationGroupName State
SYSVOL Share Domain System Volume 2
and has been for more than 12 hours. The DFS replication health report, reports "This member is waiting for initial replication for replicated folder SYSVOL Share".
How long should it take and is there anyway to force it so that replication can resume?

I'm fairly sure it's not tombstoned. Here is the DCDIAG output:

Concatenate property with two other dimension values in REC statement

Greetings,
I am attempting to concatenate a member property with two member values to create a this dimension member ID in a REC statement, as in the example:
*REC(FACTOR=1, COSTCENTER = PROFITCENTER.PCID + %DEPARTMENT% + %COMPANY%)
So the COSTCENTER member is the concatenation of the PCID property of the current PROFTCENTER member and the ID of the current DEPARTMENT member and the ID of the current COMPANY member.
I appreciate your help.
Regards,
Craig
P.S. This syntax works fine in the Microsoft version
Edited by: Craig Tennant on Oct 27, 2010 9:58 AM

Gersh,
I have tried:
*REC(FACTOR=1, COSTCENTER = [PROFITCENTER].PCID %DEPARTMENT%) //PROFITCENTER has brackets around it and there is a space between the two.
When I validate and save it tells me "Attribute PCID%DEPARTMENT% does not exist in dimension PROFITCENTER"
*REC(FACTOR=1, COSTCENTER = [PROFITCENTER].PCID_%DEPARTMENT%) //PROFITCENTER has brackets and there is an underscore between the two.
When I valiudate and save it tells me "Attribute PCID_%DEPARTMENT% does not exist in dimension PROFITCENTER"
*REC(FACTOR=1, COSTCENTER = [PROFITCENTER].PCID [DEPARTMENT].ID) //PROFITCENTER and DEPARTMENT have brackets around them and there is a space between the two.
When I validate and save it tells me "Member [PROFTCENTER].PCID[ does not exist"
*REC(FACTOR=1, COSTCENTER = [PROFITCENTER].PCID_[DEPARTMENT].ID) //PROFITCENTER and DEPARTMENT have brackets around them and there is an underscore between the two.
When I validate and save it tells me "Member [PROFTCENTER].PCID[_ does not exist"
Again I appreciate your help and insight
Cheers,
Craig

RSBKCHECKBUFFER job scheduled twice and both canceling suddenly with two er

Hello,
This job RSBKCHECKBUFFER is scheduled to run two times in production system starting at same time 12:00 pm and it was running fine till 12.04.11 but both the jobs started failing suddenly since 12.05.11 with two different sql errors at times
DBIF_RSQL_SQL_ERROR
CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB
1. Database error text........: "SQL1224N The database manager is not able to
accept new requests, has terminated all requests in progress, or has
terminated the specified request because of an error or a forced interrupt.
SQLSTATE=55032 row=1"
2. Database error text........: "SQL0911N The current transaction has been rolled
back because of a deadlock or timeout. Reason code "2". SQLSTATE=40001 row=1"
Also both the job is scheduled to run with two different parameters
Parameters
&0000000000001
&0000000000000
Can anyone let me know what could be the reason of sudden failure since 12.05.11.
Also if I schedule the job to run only once in the system will it solve the problem ?

Hello Shradha,
1. Database error text........: "SQL1224N The database manager is not able to accept new requests, has terminated all requests in progress, or has terminated the specified request because of an error or a forced interrupt.
SQLSTATE=55032 row=1"
- As far as I know this is serious problem in production environment. Looks like your DB was being restarted at that time. Please have your DBA team to review db2diag.log for error details.
2. Database error text........: "SQL0911N The current transaction has been rolled back because of a deadlock or timeout. Reason code "2". SQLSTATE=40001 row=1" .
- Looks like second job was overlapped with first one. Please try to run the job once in a day or change of schedule of both jobs to ensure no overlap.

I have one itunes account with two phones. when i phone one of the numbers both phones have started to ring, only when connected to wifi at home. How do i resolve this please?

I have one itunes account with two phones assigned to it, sons and daughters, (5s). When i phone one of the numbers both phones have started to ring, only when connected to wifi at home. The problem does not occur when not connected to wifi. How do i resolve this please? texting is fine it is only when ringing one of the numbers.

"To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls."

I have two different 5s's with two different phone numbers but they are both using the same iCloud/apple account. After upgrading to iOS8 when I get a phone call on one phone both phones ring.

I have two different 5s's with two different phone numbers but they are both using the same iCloud/apple account. After upgrading to iOS8 when I get a phone call on one phone both phones ring. One phone is for work and one is for private and I don't need both phones to ring from one call. It's bizarre.......is this supposed to be like this? If so where can I turn it off?? And while we are at it iOS8 has installed iBooks on both of my phones and iTunes won't let me uninstall it. I don't need or want iBooks on my phones.

Hi,
There are two easy fixes to this.
One, you can set up Family Sharing, in which you can have two different iCloud Accounts, yet still share the same apps, music, media etc.
Two, go to Settings and turn-off "Handoff". This can be found under the General page.
Hope this helps!

Two VGA monitors don't work with two different G4s, but both work with G3!

I recently acquired two used Power Mac G4s (one of them is a mirrored-door dual-processor that I got from school and was told should work, the other is a Gigabit Ethernet model, and should also work), from two completely different sources. They both turn on (I get a power-on light, I hear HDDs churning, and I get a power chime from one of them, and they react to the usual Mac stimuli, mouse and keyboard light up, reset button works, etc.) but I get *absolutely no video*. The monitor syncs for a second, like it gets a quick signal, then goes immediately back to the "CHECK SIGNAL CABLE" message.
I have tried them both with two generic PC VGA monitors (though they were both kind of old and crummy ones, they work on my G3 and other computers. I've tried the working PCI video card from my G3, that doesn't work, nor does swapping their video cards. They both have Apple-supplied ATI AGP video cards, both with Apple's proprietary ADC interface, though one has only DVI out (with a DVI to VGA adapter that came with it) and the other has a straight VGA port.
The weird thing is that, even though these computers have never, er, met before, they have the exact same problem. The only thing these things have in common is the monitor I'm using. This leads me to believe
The only thing left I can think of is to hook them straight from the DVI port to my HDTV, but I don't have a DVI cable, much less know ANYTHING about DVI. Could it be that these particular VGA monitors don't like AGP video cards, or some sort of weird incompatibility that isn't well known?
I figure if anyone's seen something like this, you guys have. Here are the AppleHistory entries on these machines, if it helps:
http://apple-history.com/body.php?page=gallery&model=g4giga&performa=off&sort=da te&order=ASC

The software on the hard drives may be set for a video setting that won't work with your monitor. A few things to try (in order):
1) Reset PRAM. Hold down Cmd-Option-P-R when booting until you hear the third Boing.
2) Hold down Option when booting. Should show symbol of hard drive, plus a couple of arrows.
3) Boot from a CD (Install disk or, preferably, Hardware Test Disk).
4) Safe boot. Hold down "S" just after the boing. Release it when (if?) you see the turning gear.
If it is a scan rate problem, one of these should show some video.

URGENT !!! Two physical network interface with two completely different subnets - No bridges - cannot connect both

This is my urgent problem:
I have a physical machine with two physical network interfaces. I have a VMWARE player installed and a virtual machine that must use both cards on two different subnets, one directly public on the router and one intranet inside the company.
How can I just tell one net card to go on that sub and the other on the public sub ? Going crazy. Please help.
Thanks,
P.

Using VMware Player Virtual Network Editor, create a additional bridged VMnet and bind each bridged VMnet to a different physical network adapter... on virtual machine, create a virtual network adapter to each subnet, and bind each virtual network adapter to a different bridged VMnet.

My boyfriend and I have each an IPhone with two different Apple IDs. Since the recent software his contacts appears in my Iphone. How can I switch that off? I have be looking at both Iphones and Iclouds.

My boyfriend and I have each an IPhone with two different Apple IDs. Since the recent software his contacts appears in my Iphone. How can I switch that off? I have be looking at both Iphones and Iclouds.

All apps and purchases are linked to your apple ID, so you can't share them across 2 devices that are using different apple id's, it won't work. the purchases that are on your mac at the moment will only work with the apple id they were brought with.
the only thing thats possible to share is purchased music. you have to first covert it to mp3 within itunes, then your bf can import it into his own itunes library and sync with his phone.

Two PCs on two places, both with iTunes using same AppleId. Streaming videos for iPad

Hi everybody.
I'm living in two places, both of them equiped with PCs, one running Windows 7 and the other Windows XP (nobody's perfect !). They run last version of iTunes with same Apple Id.
As one is the backup of the other, both of them have all the videos I'd like to broadcast on may iPad (not enough place, so no download). Some of them are TV shows I bougth, other one are personnal videos.
All was perfect on the first PC (the one running Windows 7) until I activate the same setups on the second one. Now I can broadcast personnal videos from that PC, but I can't anymore on the first one : when I open Videos (the application) on iPad, the only thing I see on the menu is "TV show", witch allow me to download (not broadcast) from Internet the show I'd like to see, but I don't see the "shared library" I used to see before.
Anyone has an idea ?
Thank's

I have recently installed Mavericks and since then I have been unable to shut down or log out of my mac. I work with two screens and now I seem to have programmes at the top of both screens which I didn't before. any advice?

I have recently installed Mavericks on my desk top and since then I have been unable to switch off my computer without crashing it. I work with two screen and now I seem to have the menu bar on the second screen as well which I did not have before. Can you please help me?

Dr Bettina, I had similar problems with Mavericks. I installed it on a Mini and a 13" MacBook Pro. I can't speak to your disdplay issues, but I can confirm the inability to logout, shut down, or restarft without a forced, power button shut down. I can also report frequent System Prefs freezes and finder issues, like folder contents taking half a minuite or more to render, or not appearing at all. And while a few Adobe CC apps actually ran faster, InDesign ran like molasses uphill in Decemner.
I tried uninstalling or disabling numerous 3rd party apps and pref panes. I unplugged everything but the keyboard, ran DiskWarrier, repaired permissions, did fsck -f, trashed various preference files, reinstalled the OS... You name it, and I tried it — short of a potion using eye of newt.
After two days of totally hosed productivity, I restored OS 10.8.5 on the Mini so I could actually get some work done. However, I've decided to leave Mavericks on the MBP as a sort of crash dummy, and will install and thoroughly test all updates until stability has been achieved. Then — and only then — will I upgrade the Mini to Mavericks, even if it means waiting 'til a .2 or even .3 update.
Good luck to you...

Printed colour is different between two elements both created in pages with the same colour

Hi There,
I have been having some issues getting a text colour to match a logo (imported in pdf format) - While trying to discover what was happening I created a sample colour of (HSB 189 / 89 / 73) in pages and saved it in my colours palette to test.
Now if I create some text (in pages) and a shape (also in pages) and colour them from the same colour sample/swatch and print it - the colours are clearly very different, Does pages do some kind of text colour correcting or weirdness that I cant find? Its hard to believe this is the desired workflow and its very anoying.
PS. I have also tried printing from a pdf and I have the same issues - That said the two colours look identical in pages and the pdf on screen.
I'd be extremely grateful for any help
NB I have since read
https://discussions.apple.com/message/9263007#9263007
Which although is helpful and may explain the behavious of the imported logo pdf vs the text it doesn't (I dont think) explain how two elements both created in pages using the same colour (from pages) would be dfferent?

They are both coming out at the exact same colour (CMYK 83, 0, 21, 0) which is correct however they are not the same colours when printed, Im begining to think this is less of a pages thing (as the output is correct) but something is going wrong between pdf/pages and print
Its not the easiest thing to see so you may have to take my word for it - but the two colours are not the same by quite a long way (Theres way more contrast in real life)
I think Im ready to admit defeat on this but thanks a bunch for your help!

Can I configure a wireless home network with two cable routers (both with separate connections to the same cable company)? Issue is poor signal strength even with multiple Airport Expresses added to the network.

I have a wireless home network consisting of a time capsule, two airport expresses and a cable modem. Even with this configuration I get a very weak signal in much of be condo - the walls, etc. are solid concrete. I want to see if I can add another separately connected cable modem and connect one of the existing airport express to it by Ethernet cable. If so, this would give me two wired hubs and greatly improve signal strength. I do not know if this configuration will in fact work or if I will just wind up with two, separate and unrelateable networks. Unfortunately, there is no way to run any additional Ethernet cable and I doubt simply adding more Airport Express will help. Thanks.

Try Ethernet over Power adapters.. these are very popular for your kind of environment.. being able to make non-wireless link to another area where you can setup a wireless access point.
Airport Express are not great for wireless power.. if you really have issues with wireless strength in a bad environment apple stuff is not the way to go.
The comparison chart here.
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/router-charts/bar/58-2_4-ghz-dn?see=P_F
This is their worst test location you can also see averages.. the latest airport extreme.. is there a long way down.. and that is a much better wireless device than Airport Express.
The Ubiquiti power AP is small cheap and designed for precisely this duty.. useless in an apple wireless network.. you will need to run ethernet or EOP adapters back to the main router.. but if the normal omni directional antennas don't provide enough signal you can get directional ones.. I suspect you can cover your whole apartment with a pair of these and high gain directional antenna.
