DFSR Replication Group missing in action


we have dfsr running between win 2003r2 , win2008std.
hub win2008 server , have 9 spokes. problem started when noticed topology showed 1 member disconnected.
server read/write configured dfs management showed path hub spoke , not spoke het hub.
added spoke path following command: dfsradmin conn new /rgname:"profile replication" /sendmem:server.domain /recvmem:server.domain /connenabled:true
connection made @ same point hub server lost connection replication group. removed replication group display , tried re-add it. replication group no longer find.
removed member added path replication group did not return. after browsing net ages , checking way solve decided ask here idea's.
when check, in dfs management, namespace replication states profiles: replicated folder object can not queried. replication group profile replication cannot found.
when check on win2008 spokes replication group still available on win2003 spokes replication group not available. ran healthreport against hub server , runs without errors.
used command --> dfsradmin health new /rgname:"profile replication" /refmemname:domain\hubserver /domain:domain.local /reportname:hubserverreport-%ddmmyyyy%%hhmm% <--

ideas or maybe needs/wants more info?

in advance,
andré

hi,

for ad-based dfsr, replication group configuration data saved in following places:

cn=dfsr-globalsettings,cn=system,dc=domain,dc=com

cn=dfsr-localsettings,cn=computername,...dc=domain,dc=com

in addition, each dfs-r server has local copy of dfs-r configuration data in “[drive]\system volume information\dfsr”.

we boot into active directory restore mode restore dfsr group if have available backup, , perform following 2 commandes restore in ad:

restore subtree cn=replicationgroupname,cn=dfsr-globalsettings,cn=system,dc=domain,dc=com

restore subtree cn=dfsrserver,ou=computerouname,dc=domain,dc=com

however may not worth delete these entries in ad , recreate same replication group.
