Replication Tab for DFS Namespace is Blank

Question

Good afternoon.  We have several folders in our single DFS namespace.  Typically, there would be 2-4 folder targets within a folder, with only one enabled.  Until recently, when I would select a folder target and click on its Replication tab,
I would see information about each folder target.  Now, it's blank.
Replication is working, and the replication configuration for each folder target does appear in the Replication section of the DFS management console.  When I click on the "Replicate Folder Wizard" on the Replication tab, I get an error informing
me that "folder targets cannot be added as DFS Replication members".  That would stand to reason since replication is occurring.
My question is, then, how do I get the replication configuration information to return to the Replication tab?  Thanks.

Hi Roni,
Above all I would like to confirm:
1. If client can access each folder target with \\server1\folder, \\server2\folder etc when the issue occurs.
2. How many Namespace servers are set for that namespace.
Referral list is provided by namespace server. So please check if namespace server is available to be accessed as well.
Generally this is a temp issue. You can test to refresh DFS cache on client with "dfsutil /pktflush" or simply do a reboot. If acceptable you can also try to reboot your namespace server and refresh DFS cache again to see the result.
