DFS Replication replicated folder overlap monitor

Microsoft.Windows.DfsReplication.DfsrFolderOverlapMonitor (UnitMonitor)

This monitor checks to see if the local path of any replicated folder overlaps with that of another replicated folder on the monitored computer.

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

The DFS Replication service may register this event if it discovers that either the root path or one of the private folders for the specified replicated folder overlaps with one or more existing DFS replicated folders.

Event: 6408

Anti-events: 4002, 4008, 4010, 4114, 1004, 1104

Causes

The DFS Replication service may register this event if either the root path or one of the private folders configured for a replicated folder overlaps with one or more other existing DFS replicated folders.

Resolutions

To resolve this issue, use the following procedure:

Note: To perform the following procedure, you must be a member of the Domain Admins group in the domain in which the replication group is configured, the creator of the replication group, or have been delegated permissions.

1. On the affected computer, examine DFS Replication event 6408 in the System Log of Event Viewer to determine the replicated folder which has been configured incorrectly.

2. Using the DFS Management snap-in, make a note of the root path of the replicated folder, and its staging area.

3. Check to see whether any of the paths configured for the replicated folder overlaps with those for another replicated folder on the server.

4. Using the DFS Management snap-in, re-configure the replicated folder so that none of its working folders overlaps with any other replicated folders.

Alert Message
Replicated folder overlapping with other DFS Replication replicated folders
The DFS Replication service failed to initialize replicated folder {0} because the service detected that one of its private folders overlaps with an existing replicated folder. This is an unsupported configuration.
