This is the most important script I run, if a server is dead someone will tell me but if DFSR stops (and it does) the copies get out of sync very quick and then bad things happen.
I found I had to run the script from a scheduled task rather than from an entry in the bbwin config file, don't know why. The file backlog counting component is with all rights, thanks and attribs to Martin9700 at http://community.spiceworks.com/scripts/show/205-dfs-replication-monitor
Under Varaiable settings enter the path to write the test file and the path to where the file is replicated too. Don't use the DFS shares on the servers because even though you specifiy the servers if it's a DFS share AD can send you to either server. There are 5 lines to enter the share paths but they are all contaminated and then the entries are split into pairs before processing
