About eight weeks ago I created a farm, "Farm A" and assigned one primary server and five secondary servers. Later I deleted all of the secondary servers, and added one new one.
I did this on two boxes, in two separate data centers.
About three weeks ago, when this "Farm A" was enabled, the farm was deploying to the boxes it has officially listed as secondaries, but it was also deploying to one fo the secondaries that had been deleted weeks previously. This caused files to be deployed that we did not want to be deployed.
Then, it happened again in the other datacenter, where again, the "Farm A" was enabled and it not only replicated to the secondary servers it was supposed to, but also to one of the secondry servers that had been deleted weeks prior. This caused another significant problem when the wrong files were deployed to our live production boxes (again.)
When I looked at the server list these deleted servers were not there, but when I looked at hte messages in the verbose log, it showed them still active.
Rebooting the server seems to cure the problem, but this seems like such a huge bug. Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks
