Re: Windows Server 2003 R2 - DFS errors 6012, 1202 ?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

DFS-R can be used on 2 R2 servers.

Is the R2 server configured as a member server of a SP1 DC?

Also, the DC's schema must be updated. It doesn't necessary needs to be a R2
machine. You can find the updated schema to be updated for
WIn2000/Win2003/Win2003 SP1 or R2 machine, from Disk 2. :)

I am trialing Windows server R2 on a file server. I want to test the
"branch
server" DFS file replication feature.

After installing R2 and the DFS component I get the following in the
application event log :

DFSR 6012

The DFS Replication service detected an incompatible Active Directory
schema
version while trying to read configuration objects from server mydc. The
service disconnected from this server and will try again in the next
polling
cycle.

Additional Information:
Expected Version: 31
Incompatible Server Version: 30
Domain Controller: mydc

And then Event 1202 :

The DFS Replication service failed to contact domain controller to access
configuration information. Replication is stopped. The service will try
again
during the next configuration polling cycle, which will occur in 60
minutes.
This event can be caused by TCP/IP connectivity, firewall, Active
Directory,
or DNS issues.

Now the DC in question IS running Windows 2003 SP1 and I have no wish to
run
R2 on these DC's

Surely I do not have to update my DC's to test this feature of R2??
