Files Are Replicated Even When No Sync Appears in Status

• Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.51, 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When a Windows NT 3.51 computer operates as an export server and a Windows NT 4.0 computer operates as an import server to participate in directory replication, the Status column on the import server's Directory Replication dialog box may display NO SYNC. This status appears under the heading "Import Directories" on the import server. Users have reported that even though the NO SYNC status is shown, files appear to be replicated correctly.

RESOLUTION

This problem is resolved by assuring that the export files contained on the Windows NT 3.51 export server are stabilized prior to replication time.

This may be accomplished by performing the following steps:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double- click Server.



2. Click Replication.



3. Under Export Directories, click to select Wait Until Stabilized. By default, the Stabilize check box is not selected under Windows NT 3.51 and Windows NT 4.0.
