with the message "The member is running a client operating system".
But - the member is a domain controller running Windows Server 2008 R2, being one of the namespace servers for that DFS and was member of a previous replication group for this DFS folder, which I deleted yesterday to consolidate DFS after removing the last Server 2003 R2 sharing that DFS folder. Both the wizard and the manual action to add a new member to the replication group reject that server.
The server has been rebooted already, without improvement.
Error from the event log of the server: "The DFS Replication service detected invalid msDFSR-Subscriber object data while polling for configuration information. "
So what can I do besides starting script based replication again?
Best greetings from Germany
