Description: File Replication Service has been
repeatedly prevented from updating
File Name :
Filename.txt
File GUID : 97130a43-f134-4595-88cc6c87c3d41955
due to consistent sharing violations encountered on the file.
Sharing violations occur when another user or application holds a file open,
blocking FRS from updating it.
Blockage caused by sharing violations can
result in out-of-date
replicated content.
FRS will continue to
retry this update,
but will be blocked until the sharing violations are eliminated.
Possible
reasons for a sharing violation are other sources that may have opened the file to be
replicated in on the target machine.
To determine the full path of the file in sharing violation open the Computer Management,
Shared Folders,
Open Files from compmgmt.msc for the file in question and the user that has the file opened.
Search for the file
listed above,
Right click on the file,
Select the close option to forcibly close the file.
Note if multiple files with the same name are held open you may need to close all or perform more detailed steps
listed in the KB article to determine file with full path that matches the GUID
reported in the event.
