Hi,
To prevent the long DFS-R initial synchronization process, I've tried to use the new DFSR database cloning principle. I've followed the steps as outlined in the blogpost of Ned Pyle. The only 'big' difference in oure setup is that we use mountpoints in our source and destination side (in stead of volume letters).
- Source is: E:\User Volumes\%Mountpoint naming%
- Destination is: C:\Mountpoints\%Mountpoint naming%
The destination folder doesn't contain the DFSRPrivate folder or reparse points. Both nodes are in different AD-sites. The DFS console shows the same information (RG and RF) on both sites. No connections are configured, and only the primary (sending) server is added. (as described in the blogpost).
After the import-DFSRClone command has run the following error is dumped:
Import-DfsrClone : Could not import the database clone. Error code: 0x000023EE
The eventviewer on the destination side shows the following information:
EventID: 2414
Level: Error
Message: The DFS Replication service failed to import a cloned database. Error: 9198 (A configuration error was detected)
EventID: 2416
Level: Information
Message: The DFS Replication service has processed a portion of imported database records. These records consist of all database entries for files and folders, including previously deleted files from the past 60 days. No action is required. [skipped rest]
EventID: 2412
Level: Information
Message: The DFS Replication service started importing a cloned database. The server will remain in this state until it has completed import operations. No action is required [skipped rest]
Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong?
