I am trying to get a Windows 2003 SBS SP1server to replicate to a newly added Server 2003 SP2 Domain Controller. Replication has stalled. The source server has the following error in the File Replication Service Event Log: Event Type: Error Event Source: NtFrs Event Category: None Event ID: 13568 Date: 05/08/2008 Time: 12:32:41 PM User: N/A Computer: HPS001 Description: The File Replication Service has detected that the replica set "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)" is in JRNL_WRAP_ERROR. Replica set name is : "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)" Replica root path is : "c:\windows\sysvol\domain" Replica root volume is : "\\.\C:" A Replica set hits JRNL_WRAP_ERROR when the record that it is trying to read from the NTFS USN journal is not found. This can occur because of one of the following reasons. [1] Volume "\\.\C:" has been formatted. [2] The NTFS USN journal on volume "\\.\C:" has been deleted. [3] The NTFS USN journal on volume "\\.\C:" has been truncated. Chkdsk can truncate the journal if it finds corrupt entries at the end of the journal. [4] File Replication Service was not running on this computer for a long time. [5] File Replication Service could not keep up with the rate of Disk IO activity on "\\.\C:". Setting the "Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore" registry parameter to 1 will cause the following recovery steps to be taken to automatically recover from this error state. [1] At the first poll, which will occur in 5 minutes, this computer will be deleted from the replica set. If you do not want to wait 5 minutes, then run "net stop ntfrs" followed by "net start ntfrs" to restart the File Replication Service. [2] At the poll following the deletion this computer will be re-added to the replica set. The re-addition will trigger a full tree sync for the replica set. WARNING: During the recovery process data in the replica tree may be unavailable. You should reset the registry parameter described above to 0 to prevent automatic recovery from making the data unexpectedly unavailable if this error condition occurs again. To change this registry parameter, run regedit. Click on Start, Run and type regedit. Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Click down the key path: "System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters" Double click on the value name "Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore" and update the value. If the value name is not present you may add it with the New->DWORD Value function under the Edit Menu item. Type the value name exactly as shown above. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. This server had a crash recently and CHKDSK found errors on the disk The server seems healthy except for the above errors I made the suggested registry entry and stopped and started the service but it has not fixed the error. The destination server has the following error (multiple times) in the File Replication Service Event Log: Event Type: Warning Event Source: NtFrs Event Category: None Event ID: 13508 Date: 5/08/2008 Time: 1:30:43 PM User: N/A Computer: MIGRATIONDC Description: The File Replication Service is having trouble enabling replication from HPS001 to MIGRATIONDC for c:\windows\sysvol\domain using the DNS name HPS001.herzigprosser.local. FRS will keep retrying. Following are some of the reasons you would see this warning. [1] FRS can not correctly resolve the DNS name HPS001.herzigprosser.local from this computer. [2] FRS is not running on HPS001.herzigprosser.local. [3] The topology information in the Active Directory for this replica has not yet replicated to all the Domain Controllers. This event log message will appear once per connection, After the problem is fixed you will see another event log message indicating that the connection has been established. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. Data: 0000: d5 04 00 00 Õ... Not sure where to go from here. Anyone?
I found that I had not put spaces between the words in the registry value . I'm now getting: Event Type: Warning Event Source: NtFrs Event Category: None Event ID: 13560 Date: 05/08/2008 Time: 2:55:19 PM User: N/A Computer: HPS001 Description: The File Replication Service is deleting this computer from the replica set "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)" as an attempt to recover from the error state, Error status = FrsErrorSuccess At the next poll, which will occur in 5 minutes, this computer will be re-added to the replica set. The re-addition will trigger a full tree sync for the replica set. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. Hopefully this will fix it.
Sooo, what was the fix? -- Cris Hanna [SBS - MVP] ------------------------------------ MVPs do not work for Microsoft Please do not submit questions directly to me.
Hi Cris, It was the registry value mentioned above: System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters\Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore=1 followed by a restart of replication service. It's nice when the fix is given in the event log Cheers, Bill
Thanks for posting that...and it sure is!! -- Cris Hanna [SBS - MVP] ------------------------------------ MVPs do not work for Microsoft Please do not submit questions directly to me.
Oh, and don't forget to change the registry value back to 0 or the system will have to rebuild the journal, etc. every time ntfrs restarts!
