Hi people. I am setting up DFSR to replicate a folder between 2 servers:
Alpha and Bravo. Both servers are 2003 Ent R2.

I have gone through using WMIDIAG.VBS and made sure all tests are passed.
Also DCDIAG and the R2 ADPREP /FORESTPREP are all successful.

I am also made sure AD between 2 DCs AD01 and AD03 are replicated.

Using ASDIEDIT I have made sure the security for CNs exists and are readable
by SYSTEM as well.

I have created a few different Replication groups for testing but same thing
happens. It has been more than 24 hours so propagation time wont be a cause.

After creating the Replication Group the folders never replicated and I am
getting 3 different errors:

1. DFS Management Diagnostic shows:

For server Alpha:
a) Due to the following error, the DFS Replication reporting mechanism
cannot access the WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) namespace to
retrieve certain reporting information. Error ID: 0x80041002

b) Backlog calculations cannot be performed because DFS Replication
encountered the following error while accessing the Windows Management
Instrumentation (WMI) repository to retrieve version vectors from this
member: Access is denied. , see WMI help to resolve the error string.

For server Bravo:
a) Due to the following error, the DFS Replication reporting mechanism
cannot access the WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) namespace to
retrieve certain reporting information. Error ID: 0x80041002.

2. Eventlog in windows shows:

For server Alpha:
The DFS Replication service detected inconsistent msDFSR-Subscriber object
while polling for configuration information. The object at
CN=14a6fa55-7b9c-4e78-86ca-56b2c7c2bef2,CN=DFSR-LocalSettings,CN=ALPHA,CN=Computers,DC=abc,DC=lan

For server Bravo:

please help?

What is the event ID for this?

We had the same thing happen with a few servers here and it is a permissions
problem with the DFSR ServerHealthReport class, dcom object on the server
that is being accessed. I found a article that tells how to set the correct
permissions and I think it was by the event ID.

Hi Danny,

Thanks for your reply. But this is the only output I have got. For error a
it is 0x80041002 and for error b it doesn't give an error id. The windows
event log gives 6006 from DFSR though. Does that ring any bells?

Cheers,

Alvin
