The Directory Replicator Service that is provided by Windows NT Server requires exclusive access to Netlogon and REPL$. When it doesn’t get exclusive access, replication fails.<\/p>\n
A better way to replicate is to use the ROBOCOPY utility from the <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Unlike the Replicator Service, ROBOCOPY can replicate any number of directories, handle very large files, and doesn’t require exclusive access. ROBOCOPY \/? returns:<\/p>\n
\nROBOCOPY v 1.71 : Robust File Copy for Windows NT (from Supplement Two) <\/p>\n
Usage : ROBOCOPY source destination [file [file]…] [options]
\nsource : Source Directory (drive:\\path or \\\\server\\share\\path).
\ndestination : Destination Dir (drive:\\path or \\\\server\\share\\path).
\nfile : File(s) to copy (names\/wildcards – default is “*.*”).
\n\/S : copy Subdirectories, but not empty ones.
\n\/E : copy subdirectories, including Empty ones.
\n\/R:n : number of Retries on failed copies – default is 1 million.
\n\/W:n : Wait time between retries – default is 30 seconds.
\n\/REG : Save \/R:n and \/W:n in the Registry as default settings.
\n\/X : report all eXtra files, not just those selected.
\n\/V : produce Verbose output, showing skipped files.
\n\/L : List only – don’t copy, timestamp or delete any files.
\n\/ETA : show Estimated Time of Arrival of copied files.
\n\/MOVE : Move files and dirs (delete from source after copying).
\n\/PURGE : delete dest files\/dirs that no longer exist in source.
\nThere are at least 4 ways that you can use ROBOCOPY to do your replication:
\n1. A manually invoked batch file: <\/p>\n
\nrobocopy \\\\ 2. You can cause the above batch file to continuously loop:<\/p>\n \n:LOOP The Directory Replicator Service that is provided by Windows NT Server requires exclusive access to Netlogon and REPL$.

\nThe first time that you replicate, use SCOPY to preserve permissions and then use ROBOCOPY which will maintain the permissions.<\/p>\n
