The file replication is unsuccessful when you try to replicate a file that is larger than 2 GB by using Application Center 2000 Service Pack 2 on a computer that is running Windows Server 2003

SYMPTOMS

When you try to replicate a file by using Microsoft Application Center 2000 Service Pack 2 (SP2) on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003, the file replication is unsuccessful. This problem occurs when the file is larger than 2 gigabytes (GB).

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the Windows Sockets TransmitFile function that the Application Center 2000 Replication Service (Acsrepl.exe) calls does not support transmitting files that are larger than 2 GB.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:
  • If you do not have to have the file on each cluster member, put the file that is larger than 2 GB on a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) share.
  • If you have to have the file on all cluster members, use Xcopy.exe to copy the file to all nodes in the cluster. Then, exclude the file from the Application Center 2000 replication.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
