Understanding DFSR debug logging (Part 17: Replication failing because of blocked RPC ports (uses debug severity 5))

In this scenario we will see a file created on the upstream server and attempted replication with its downstream partner. RPC traffic is being blocked between the machines by an incorrectly configured firewall. This is a common scenario and basic understanding of firewalls, TCP/IP, ports, and RPC is assumed. Debug logging severity is set to 5 in order to see more details about the problem state.

(rpcportsblocked - Dfsr00008 - 2008.log)

These are two Windows Server 2008 servers called 2008x86SRV10 and 2008x86SRV11 in the contoso.com ___domain. The log is from 2008x86SRV10 where the file is created (upstream). Both servers are participating in the RpcPortRG replication group for the RpcportRf replicated folder. The file is called “fveupdate.exe”.
