NTFRS is a multi-threaded, multi-master replication service that replaces the Windows NT LMREPL service. Windows 2000 Servers use NTFRS to replicate system policy and logon scripts from clients and to replicate the content between Windows 2000 servers hosting the same fault tolerant DFS roots or child node replica.
The registry entries for the NTFRS service are located at the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesNtFrsParameters
Value | Type | Min. | Max. | Default | D e s c r i p t i o n |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Debug Log Severity | REG_DWORD | 0 | 5 | 5 | Verbosity of%SystemRoot%DebugNtfrs_000x.log files, where 0 is minimum and 5 is maximum. |
Debug Log File | REG_DWORD | 0 | None | 5 | Number of active log files, where the higher log number is the most recent. |
Debug Maximum Log Messages | REG_DWORD | None | None | 10000 | Number of lines per log file. The default uses ~2MB of disk space. |
DS Polling Short Interval in Minutes | REG_DWORD | 1 | None | 5 | NTFRS polls the Active Directory for 8 Short intervals and then switches to Long intervals, unless there was a configuration change. |
DS Polling Long Interval in Minutes | REG_DWORD | 1 | None | DC=5, Mbr=60 | The Long polling interval. |
Staging Space Limit in KB | REG_DWORD | None | None | 675840 | See tip 2902 FRS stops responding because the staging area is full? |
Working Directory | REG_EXPAND_SZ | N/A | N/A | %SystemRoot%Ntfrs | The location of the Jet database, Ntfrs.jdb and the Ntfrs_000x.log files. |
