I have started having replication problems and know the reason I just have
no choice in the matter. Management has insisted on running ZA (unsupported
on Server OS') on W2K Servers. I immediately started have replication
problems between two machines no matter the ZA settings....no surprise
there. My issue is this...I need to have the records updated at least
somewhat recently to run adprep to add W2K3 servers to the AD. Can I follow
the advice (reprinted below) in the Event box and expect good results? There
is conflicting information on the web. Also, should I expect an extended
period of inaccessibility during the manual update?

The File Replication Service has detected that the replica set "DOMAIN
SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)" is in JRNL_WRAP_ERROR.

Replica set name is : "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)"

Replica root path is : "c:\winnt\sysvol\domain"

Replica root volume is : "\\.\C:"

A Replica set hits JRNL_WRAP_ERROR when the record that it is trying to read
from the NTFS USN journal is not found. This can occur because of one of the
following reasons.


[1] Volume "\\.\C:" has been formatted.

[2] The NTFS USN journal on volume "\\.\C:" has been deleted.

[3] The NTFS USN journal on volume "\\.\C:" has been truncated. Chkdsk can
truncate the journal if it finds corrupt entries at the end of the journal.

[4] File Replication Service was not running on this computer for a long
time.

[5] File Replication Service could not keep up with the rate of Disk IO
activity on "\\.\C:".

Setting the "Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore" registry parameter to 1
will cause the following recovery steps to be taken to automatically recover
from this error state.

[1] At the first poll, which will occur in 5 minutes, this computer will be
deleted from the replica set. If you do not want to wait 5 minutes, then run
"net stop ntfrs" followed by "net start ntfrs" to restart the File
Replication Service.

[2] At the poll following the deletion this computer will be re-added to the
replica set. The re-addition will trigger a full tree sync for the replica
set.


WARNING: During the recovery process data in the replica tree may be
unavailable. You should reset the registry parameter described above to 0 to
prevent automatic recovery from making the data unexpectedly unavailable if
this error condition occurs again.


To change this registry parameter, run regedit.


Click on Start, Run and type regedit.


Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

Click down the key path:

"System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameter s"

Double click on the value name

"Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore"

and update the value.


If the value name is not present you may add it with the New->DWORD Value
function under the Edit Menu item. Type the value name exactly as shown
above.
