USING REMOVE-DFSRMEMBER
Use Remove-DfsrMember only when all the server's memberships are on a single volume.
This command affects all memberships of the server.
If there are volumes with uncorrupted DFS-R databases, use the Dfsradmin command
instead. This command enables you to specify only a single membership.
Dfsradmin membership delete /rgname:<dfsrgroup> /rfname:<dfsrfolder>
/memname:<dfsrservername>
DFS-R can be optimized by tuning the file-staging sizes as appropriate on a per-server basis.
Windows Server 2012 R2 adds the capability to tune the minimum staging size for files to
increase performance when replicating large files.
In previous versions of Windows Server, DFS-R uses a fixed, 256 KB file size as the mini-
mum size for staging. If a file is larger than 256 KB, it is staged before it replicates. Further,
if the staging folder quota is configured too small, DFS-R consumes additional CPU and disk
resources.
The staging folder quota should be large enough that replication can continue even if
multiple large files are staged awaiting replication. To improve performance, the staging
folder should be as close to the size of the replicated folder as possible.
Staging folder quota sizes are particularly a concern on hub members with multiple
replication partners. When configuring staging folders, locate them on different physical
disks from the folders that are being replicated.
