This article was previously published under Q113662 SYMPTOMS
When you remove imported or exported directories from the Directory
Replication dialog box (from the Server portion of Control Panel), they do
not stay removed. The directories continue to be replicated.
CAUSE
The Replicator service builds its list of managed directories by adding any directories it finds in the root replication directory each time it starts. Because of this, if the directory you wish to remove remains in the root replication directory, it continues to be replicated. You can even add directories to be replicated by simply placing them in the root replication directory.
WORKAROUND
To remove unwanted directories from the managed directories list, use the
following procedure:
- Stop the Replicator service by typing the following from Command
Prompt:
- Delete or move the directory from it's current location.
- Restart the Replicator service:
NOTE: If you need to maintain the location of directories you do not want
to be replicated, you can change the base location that the Replicator
service points to. To do this, change the From List or To Path field to the new location. When you choose OK, the Replicator service restarts and
rebuilds its list of managed directories.
