DFS replication stops after unexpected server shutdown
If DFS on Windows Server 2008R2 and Windows Server 2012 detects dirty DFSR JET database shutdown it pauses replication and records following warnings is DFS Application logs:
Source: DFSREvent ID: 2213
Description:
The DFS Replication service stopped replication on volume D:. This occurs when a DFSR JET database is not shut down cleanly and Auto Recovery is disabled. To resolve this issue, back up the files in the affected replicated folders, and then use the ResumeReplication WMI method to resume replication.
Additional Information:
Volume: D:
GUID: <GUID>
Recovery Steps
1. Back up the files in all replicated folders on the volume. Failure to do so may result in data loss due to unexpected conflict resolution during the recovery of the replicated folders.
2. To resume the replication for this volume, use the WMI method ResumeReplication of the DfsrVolumeConfig class. For example, from an elevated command prompt, type the following command:
wmic /namespace:\\root\microsoftdfs path dfsrVolumeConfig where volumeGuid="<GUID>" call ResumeReplication

Check DFS Replication backlog
To check DFSR backlog, run following commands on one of your DFRS servers.
- dfsrdiag backlog /rgname:<REPLICATION_GROUP_NAME> /rfname:<REPLICATED_FOLDER_NAME> /smem:<SERVER_1> /rmem:<SERVER_2>
- dfsrdiag backlog /rgname:<REPLICATION_GROUP_NAME> /rfname:<REPLICATED_FOLDER_NAME> /smem:<SERVER_2> /rmem:<SERVER_1>
For verbose output, add /v switch at the very end of commands.
