FRS Startup

When FRS starts up, either when the host computer or the service starts (by using net start ntfrs , for example), it first polls Active Directory for configuration changes. Then FRS determines the inbound and outbound partners for each replica set.

FRS also polls Active Directory at regular intervals for configuration changes that affect its partner relationships. Events that reset the polling interval are:

  • Adding a replica.

  • Deleting a replica.

  • Adding a connection.

  • Deleting a connection.

  • Changing a schedule.

  • Changing a file or folder filter.
