Renaming Source Directory Causes Deletion of Downstream Directory

Article ID: 165336

APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q165336

SYMPTOMS

Automatic replications are deleting downstream replica directories when the name changes on the source.

CAUSE

A directory is recursed when it is renamed (or added) and adds each of the files in the directory to the replication queue. Empty directories are not affected by the fix. Empty directories will be replicated during a re-sync when the Content Replication System is stopped and restarted.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Commercial Internet System version 1.0. A supported fix is now available, but is not fully regression-tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Service Pack that contains this fix. Contact Microsoft Product Support Services for more information.
