Hi Guys, I have two file servers which are replicating, one server ran out of space a while back I and I finally managed to clear out some space yesterday, when I got into work this morning the files from the low disk server replicated to the main server, this replaced many files (5000) with out of date files. I know have been asked to re-set up the server from scratch and start again to ensure it doesn't happen again. So can anyone help me with a) why this happened and b) how to safely remove DFS replication from a server and set it all back up (format and all I will be doing) so that it does 1 way replication (w2k3R2) thanks

I would suggest doing a back and starting from scratch. That way, you can already address any other potential limitations of your DFS setup.
