I'm trying to setup a DFSR between 2003R2 and SBS 2008. I've had
mixed results. I created the DFS connections and replication
information and it immediately started to replicate. Then it stopped
and hasn't moved in two days. I know it started to replicate because
the top level folder structure from the source/primary server was
created and a few (very few) files were copied as well.

When I run the Diagnostic report on the 2003 system, I get this:

This member is waiting for initial replication for replicated folder
Company.
Affected replicated folders: Company
Description: This member is waiting for initial replication for
replicated folder Company and is not currently participating in
replication. This delay can occur because the member is waiting for
the DFS Replication service to retrieve replication settings from
Active Directory. After the member detects that it is part of
replication group, the member will begin initial replication.
Last occurred: Monday, January 18, 2010 at 4:13:07 AM (GMT-5:00)
Suggested action: Replication will begin after initial replication
is complete. If this state does not change, see The Microsoft Web Site.

The event logs shows no errors, just an informational message that
suggests everything should be fine:
The DFS Replication service successfully established an inbound
connection with partner SBS2008 for replication group
mydomain.local\dfs\company.

Additional Information:
Connection Address Used: SBS2008.mydomain.local
Connection ID: 06240D3A-C27B-4FAC-8323-CC74B43B748A
Replication Group ID: 24A3CFF1-22D5-4517-AE3C-BC49790895E1

Which namespace mode? Additional information would be helpful.

Sorry - not as familiar with DFS or what you might need to help
troubleshoot as I should be.

Namespace mode is: Domain (Windows 2000 Server mode)
Shouldn't that be Windows 2003 R2 Server mode? Is there such a mode?
Can I "upgrade" it? I don't recall seeing a setting for that when
I created the DFS.

Thanks.
