DFS Showing Different Number of Files on Replicated Shares

[Jobos]

MSP setup the server that I have inherited and they used DFS for the file shares but as there was only one server there wasn't any replication. I found an old server in the store room and as the servers are still offsite I thought I would try enabling replication to speed up file access. I did this Friday and comparing file numbers on both remote and local servers shows there are a large number of missing files on the local share. I first thought this was because of the time needed to sync the files but I checked the file numbers yesterday and this morning and they are the same.

 

Remote file share: 422884

Local file share: 416183

 

So 6701 less files on the local share. Are these temp files that do not need to be replicated?

 

Also while I'm asking about DFS what happens to conflicted files that were locked while being replicated as I see a couple of files in the ConflictAndDeleted folder?

 

Thanks.
