DFS conflict with another replicated folder path

[jlh1]

We have implemented Windows 2003 r2 DFS. I have a question on replication folders.


We have a public folder with subfolders and files. We have created several replication folders pointing to sub folders to replicate this folder to remote offices servers.

Now we would like to replicate the complete public folder to another server at a newly added remote site. This site would have the complete public folder including the subfolders that are replicated to the other smaller remote sites.

When I try to create the replication folders of the complete public folder to the newly added remote site I get an error.


The path entered (e:\public) conflicts with another replicated folder path (e:\public\test) for the replication group (test)

Is there anyway to enable this type of replication

Thanks
