I'm trying to setup some DFS shares to replicate over a VPN. I started out with a small share consisting of 500MB and about 500 files and this worked as expected. I defined one server that had all the files to be the Primary Member, and set up a full mesh topology and scheduled it to use the full bandwidth. This successfully completed the initial replication.
I next setup a slightly larger share with approx. 2GB and 2,000 files. I set the server with the files to be the Primary Member. I set the Staging area to be 16GB. In both cases, the server that was not the primary initially had no files. After replicating about 809 files, it seems to have stalled. But, I'm not getting any error messages in the event log. I've tried to manually restart the replication with no effect.
Both servers are Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 VMs setup as file servers with a domain functional level of 2008 R2. DNS and AD are provided by other servers. In all other respects, the servers seem to be communicating successfully through the VPN.
Thanks, Carl
