Error importing DFSR clone (0x00001774)

hi - trying configure dfsr large volume of data , following instructions in article seeding , cloning dfsr database.

http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2013/08/21/dfs-replication-initial-sync-in-windows-server-2012-r2-attack-of-the-clones.aspx

it seems going fine until try import database on downstream server.

import-dfsrclone -volume f: -path "f:\dfsrclone"

the error is:

import-dfsrclone : not import database clone. error code: 0x00001774 @ line:1 char:1 + import-dfsrclone -volume f: -path "f:\dfsrclone" + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     + categoryinfo          : invalidresult: (f:\:string) [import-dfsrclone], dfsrexception     + fullyqualifiederrorid : import-dfsrclone.importdbclonemethodfailed,microsoft.distributedfilesystemreplication.co    mmands.importdfsrclonecommand

concurrently 1774 error, event log contains bit more useful:

the dfs replication service failed import cloned database.    additional information:  error: 6004 (the required encryption driver not loaded system.)  volume: f:\  volume guid: 1deab3aa-510c-11e5-80ff-02dc285cee6d  source path:f:\dfsrclone

what encryption driver referring to? i've found little reference material error. , i've tried of common troubleshooting steps find such stopping services, deleting \dfsr , starting over. systems both windows server 2012 r2, configured identically current patching. bitlocker not installed on either system, of course efs is. however, there no encrypted files or folders on volume. doesn't appear common problem.

any suggestions?

thx!

hi beb,

thanks post.

i assume have tried suggestion in blog shared, right?

"ensure preseed source replicated folders onto destination volume using same folder names , relative paths (i.e. if source replicated folder on “d:\dfsr\rf01”, destination volume must contain <volume>:\dfsr\rf01”

for fails, can cased different causes, checked in event log. may indicates real cause issue. please check if there's other events in event log？

since there can many causes error code 6004. can causes viruses, malware, spyware, adware or corrupt application. sometimes, can caused installing new application without removing conflicting application. please check if there information.

best regards,

mary dong
