Recently we ran across and issue with some files not replicating across DFSR. when checking the logs there are no errors other files replicate with no issues.

(1) when I Looked at the file nor replicating using FSUTIL utility I see the File Attribute = 0x120

File Attributes is a bitmask.
0x100 (Temporary) and 0x20 (Archive) = 0x120 indicates the temporary attribute is set.

PS D:\temp> fsutil usn readdata myfile.pdf

(2) Set the file attribute (remove Temporary attribute from file) using PowerShell.

PS D:\temp> $a = get-childitem myfile.pdf
PS D:\temp> $a.attributes  Archive, Temporary
PS D:\temp> $a.attributes = ($a.attributes -band 0xFEFF)
PS D:\temp> $a.attributes Archive

Once I removed the file attribute Temporary from the file and dropped the file back into DFS folder…it worked. The file will replicate now.
