We are getting Event 2213 errors in the DFS event log on a server running Windows Server 2012 Essentials. There is only one server on this small network. Apparently it did suffer a prolonged power outage (UPS battery power was not sufficient to maintain power to the server in this instance).
Here is the exact error message from the event log:
"The DFS Replication service stopped replication on volume C:. This occurs when a DFSR JET database is not shut down cleanly and Auto Recovery is disabled. To resolve this issue, back up the files in the affected replicated folders, and then use the ResumeReplication WMI method to resume replication.
Additional Information:
Volume: C:
GUID: 6CC379FE-3DA3-11E3-93ED-806E6F6E6963
Recovery Steps
1. Back up the files in all replicated folders on the volume. Failure to do so may result in data loss due to unexpected conflict resolution during the recovery of the replicated folders.
2. To resume the replication for this volume, use the WMI method ResumeReplication of the DfsrVolumeConfig class. For example, from an elevated command prompt, type the following command:
wmic /namespace:\\root\microsoftdfs path dfsrVolumeConfig where volumeGuid="6CC379FE-3DA3-11E3-93ED-806E6F6E6963" call ResumeReplication."
I understand that I need to resume replication via the WMI command. However, the first step involves backing up the files in the "affected replicated folders." How do I determine exactly which folders are "affected replicated folders" so I can make a safety backup of them?
Thanks very much for any assistance you can offer.
