If you are not familiar with DFS Replication terminology, a replication group
is a set of servers, known as members, that participates in the replication of
one or more replicated folders. A replicated folder is a folder that is kept
synchronized on each member. When you enable DFS Replication on a
folder with targets, the servers that host the folder targets become members
of the replication group, and the folder targets are associated with the
replicated folder. The name of the replication group matches the namespace
path (Contoso.com\Public\Software\Tools), and the name of the replicated
folder matches the folder name (Tools).
