Citrix Provision Images Replication Error - "Files out of date"
Using Citrix 6.5 provisioning services with 2 provisioning servers. Not using load balancing because provisioning services are still in test mode. Load balancing is pointed only to Server1.
The maintenance and base images are updated on provisioning server1. Then the *.pvp, *.vhd and *.avhd files are manually copied to provisioning server2. DFS is not used.
Below is the replication status of the images on both servers. All image files have been copied from server1 to server2. The problem is the several of the image versions are not shown in the replication status. The error message is "Files out of Date" is the reason they are not displayed.
How do I fix this replication?

I recommend using
This one looks for changes in the files (1 = one change)
ROBOCOPY "Source" "DEST" /XO *.vhd *.AVHD *.PVP /Mon:1
or
This one runs every MIN where the 1 = every 1 min.
ROBOCOPY "Source" "DEST" /XO *.vhd *.AVHD *.PVP /Mot:1
You can change the number of file changes or the number of mins between each run.
Citrix Support recommends that we use ROBOCOPY to copy the VHDs.
You can write a batch file or just enter this into Windows Task Scheduler to run at Startup.
I have seen the system think they are not in sync, but it only needed a restart to give it a kick in the ass.

Why only a B rating?
