DFS replication problem

Hello Experts :D

I have a little trouble with a DFS Server
I get Sharing violation on 1 file
The Event id is 4302

I have google this abit but i cant find any good information how to solve it except you can filter it.

My question is, is it possible for me to just delete it?
What will happen?

Thanks in advance
Best regards

Ohh ok thanks Mahesh.

Just a curiosity do you what will happen if i delete the file?

Mahesh

You won't be able to delete file directly as long as it is in use, you have to forcefully close session and then can delete file
But after you close session file will eventually replicate, so no need to delete

Thanks Mahesh i have now manage to close all the ope file. But it seems the DFS is stuck.
I have restart the server several time but it wont sync :(

I have a test replication group, it is working great with that group.

Do you have any idé how i should move forward?

I am think of remove the folder, is it a good move?

Thanks you

Mahesh

There may be low staging area issue as well which causes DFS replication works slowly or can be stopped completely
U can find same in article posted earlier

Also check if your dfs infra is configured as per best practise
