Good Day,
Since setting up a Server 2012 server as a DFS root the Administrative Events log is getting flooded with DFSN-Server ID 516 warning events. We have multiple name spaces and we get a message for each every 15 minutes, so for our 6 name spaces that is over 500 messages a day.
DFSN service has started performing complete refresh of metadata for namespace <DFS-Root>. This task can take time if the namespace has large number of folders and may delay namespace administration operations.
Although I found one solution on the Russian Technet forum DFSN-Server EventID 516 this disables the entire DFSN-Server Admin log, so if there are any problems with the refresh they will not appear.
The main cause of the problem appears to be that the 516 Events have a Warning level 3 for something that should be Information level 4. There is no reason for a warning to be issued for what is a regular update process.
Thanks,
James
