DFS

[Spyhunter2007]

I have a DFS running across 3 seperate sites and it went down some two weeks ago without our knowledge. Now it appears to be setting up new shares fine (replicating these shares across the sites) but our main site is no longer replicating. Looking at the event log on these servers (2000/2003), this is what it states;
"The File Replication service stopped without cleaning up."
As well as error messages of not being able to connect to each of the shares.

My question is what is the easiest way to kick start this service back on again, as rebooting, restarting the services hasn't worked?!

What do you see when you highlight the namespace in DFS Management?

Does replication show enabled for each of the members under Replication in DFS Management?

yes. file file structure is working file but no files are being replicated even though it states it is enabled and status online.

Check the replication schedule.
