Hi all,
I have been gradually migrating all of our DFSR groups from an old 2003 hub server to a new 2008R2 hub server. There are around 20 DFSR groups that are replicating back to this new server from various spoke servers, mostly still running Windows Server 2003, and most of them have migrated successfully.
However, there was an issue with the iSCSI attached storage, which caused most, if not all of the DFSR groups to completely stop working. As in, they basically deleted themselves!! This in itself took a very long time to troubleshoot, and we have now resolved the iSCSI issues (dropouts were being caused by Symantec NetBackup).
I have re-created all of the DFSR groups that deleted themselves, and all but two are now working. With these two sites, I am getting the following error:
The DFS Replication service failed to initialize replicated folder G:\IT\ITMIL03 - Cbrei SeGreen\Shared because the service detected that one of its private folders overlaps with an existing replicated folder. This is an unsupported configuration.
Additional Information:

I dont understand where these errors are coming from and why they are occurring. There are no other replicated folders within the "shared" folder I want it to replicate, so where is this error coming from??
Any help appreciated.
