Windows 2008 R2
The DFS Replication service failed to replicate the replicated folder at local path f:\FolderName because the local path is not the fully qualified path name of an existing, accessible local folder.
Created a new Replication Group. The replication is between 2 servers. We already have replication working fine among other servers. I did some research on this error and what I mostly found was in other cases this error started after a drive letter was changed. Our problem started right from the start, after creating the new Replication Group. The only difference between this new RG that is getting this error and all the other RG's that we have working fine is; I don't have DFS targets for these 2 replicated folders. But I don't believe that's necessary.
This error is seen in the DFSR event logs on the secondary member in the RG. On the primary member I get this in the event logs: The DFS Replication service initialized the replicated folder at local path e:\FolderName. This member is the designated primary member for this replicated folder.
Which is good, but it should then start to show some more messages regarding replication.
If I run dfsrdiag replicationstate on the secondary member it is showing updates. Which is odd, considering the error message.
I tried deleting and recreating the replication group. No go. I know it is configured correctly. The permissions look good.
Anyone seen this error before, and know what the fix is?
