Summary

This rule queries the performance counter "DFS Replicated Folders\Conflict Files Cleaned Up" on monitored computers every 15 minutes. Monitoring this performance counter enables administrators to keep track of the number of replication conflicts that were cleaned up on the monitored computer. Monitoring the space utilization of the Conflict and Deleted area helps ensure that there is enough space to store replication conflicts and files deleted from replicated folders on the monitored computer.

Frequent cleanup operations indicate that files in a replicated folder are frequently being modified on multiple servers in a short period. When multiple users need to modify the same files at the same time on different servers, use the file check-out feature of Windows SharePoint Services to ensure that only one user is working on a file.
