So, I've been trying to troubleshoot intermittent one way DFS replication (in a full mesh setup) with a Microsoft support engineer. I'm running server 2k8R2 on my file servers (one is a DC), and StorageServer 2008 on my DPM machines (running DPM 2010). My support person recommended that I remove the DfsrPrivate folder from the DPM protection group, but is not able to provide me with any details on how to do so. I did find this post:

But I'm unclear on how to implement the solution. Can someone give me any hints as to the best way to ensure that DPM is not making backups of the DfsrPrivate folder?
Thanks,
Kevin
