SYMPTOMS
When you store a Microsoft Office XP administrative installation point on a Microsoft Distributed File System (DFS) share and use the File Replication Service (FRS) to replicate the administrative installation point, you may notice that the following file is missing from the administrative installation point in the file replica:

\FILES\PFILES\MSOFFICE\APPDATA\MS\OFFICE\DATA\Data.bak



CAUSE
This problem occurs because, by default FRS does not replicate .bak or .tmp files.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem and to replicate all files and directories, set an explicit file and folder filter of &quot;,&quot; (the comma character) on the NTFRSReplicaSet object. After Active Directory replicates the changes and notifies the FRS, the FRS will replicate the .bak file on the DFS share.
