DFS State issue

$
0
0

I'm getting these alerts from our monitoring and have it tracked down to why it's showing the users share in DFS as uninitialized, even though it's state is actually normal.  The replication group has been added and removed over and over and renamed.

Right now I have these replication groups:

Admin

Domain System Volume

Shares

Users

And there are no issues.  But monitoring uses WMI and as such the following command shows the real issue:

Wmic /namespace:\\root\microsoftdfs path dfsrreplicatedfolderinfo get replicationgroupname,replicatedfoldername,state

ReplicatedFolderName  ReplicationGroupName              State
Admin                 Admin                             4
Shares                Shares                            4
Users                 pipt.local\dfsroot\users    0
Users                 pipt.local\dfsroot\users    0
SYSVOL Share          Domain System Volume              4
Users                 pipt.local\dfsroot\users    0
Admin                 pipt.local\dfsroot\admin    0
Users                 Users                             4
Users                 pipt.local\dfsroot\users    0
Users                 pipt.local\dfsroot\users    0

Line items with a State of 4 are correct.  They are also the ones that match the naming convention in the console.  Admin and Shares were removed and renamed once it looks like.  Users over and over again.  But it is these references that the monitoring software is querying, so it appears.

How do I rectify this?

It looks like i need to delete all of the  pipt.local\dfsroot\users  replicationgroupnames, and the one pipt.local\dfsroot\admin

How do i do that safely?

Thanks in advance.
