Snapshots are not supported with Windows DFSR

Published Tue, Mar 22 2011 9:36 | Thomas K.H. Bittner

If you are running virtualized Windows Server with DFSR, snapshots are not supported as with any other Windows Multi-Master Database.

DFSR does not implement USN rollback quarantine protection like Active Directory Domain Services.

More details here.

I created a snap shot of my DFSR Hub server before some updates were installed, and then deleted the snapshot when the updates completed correctly.

I did NOT restore the machine to the snapshot, however I have some increased problems with event 5004 and 5014 now.

Do you think this was caused by the snapshot?

Thanks,

Ryan
