To enable DFS Replication on the Tools folder:

1.In the console tree of the DFS Management snap-in, right-click the Tools folder, and then click Replicate Folder.

2.Follow the steps in the Replicate Folder Wizard and supply the information in the following fields:

oReplication Group and Replicated Folder Name - Accept the defaults.

oReplication Eligibility - Accept the defaults.

oPrimary Member - If the folder targets are empty, choose either member. If both folder targets contain content, choose the member that has the most up-to-date content.

oTopology Selection - Select Full mesh.

oReplication Group Schedule and Bandwidth - Select Replicate continuously using the specified bandwidth.

oReview Settings and Create Replication Group - Click Create to create the replication group.

oConfirmation - Click Close to close the wizard.

oReplication Delay - Click OK to close the dialog box that warns you about the delay in initial replication.

After you finish the previous procedure, navigate to the Replication node in the console tree. Notice that a new replication group has been created, as shown in the following figure.

If you are not familiar with DFS Replication terminology, a replication group is a set of servers, known as members, that participates in the replication of one or more replicated folders. A replicated folder is a folder that is kept synchronized on each member. When you enable DFS Replication on a folder with targets, the servers that host the folder targets become members of the replication group, and the folder targets are associated with the replicated folder. The name of the replication group matches the namespace path (Contoso.com\Public\Software\Tools), and the name of the replicated folder matches the folder name (Tools).
