I had a DFS replication set that has not been replicating for some time now. &nbsp;I get the message in the event log to basicly restart DFS and a full tree sync will occur. &nbsp;My questions is excatly what does this mean. &nbsp;The two shares(links) involved in this replication set are way out of sync. &nbsp;It is defined as fully meshed. &nbsp;Will it keep the most current version of the files and directories when it does a full tree sync? &nbsp;or will it pick one share(link) and replicated it to the other share(link) then the other way thus maybe deleting/dack dating files?

I had a DFS replication set that has not been replicating for some time now.  I get the message in the event log to basicly restart DFS and a full tree sync will occur.  My questions is excatly what does this mean.  The two shares(links) involved in this replication set are way out of sync.  It is defined as fully meshed.  Will it keep the most current version of the files and directories when it does a full tree sync?  or will it pick one share(link) and replicated it to the other share(link) then the other way thus maybe deleting/dack dating files?

Full tree sync

Microsoft Server OS

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD).
