Enable replication failed - Hyper-V is not in a state to accept replication on the Replica server for virtual machine 'Servername'

hello,

i have 2 windows 2012 servers hyper-v installed. have used replication 1 of virtual machines had turn off momentarily making disk adjustments. trying enable replication again, met error:

enabling replcation failed

hyper-v failed enable replication.

hyper-v not in state accept replication on replica server virtual machine 'servername'

under details virtual machine id listed, , using id can find replication files previous replication (under \virtual hard disks\hyper-v replica\virtual hard disks\<id>\ , under \virtual hard disks\hyper-v replica\virtual machines\<id>. 

has run before?
maybe should rid of old replica files , try replicate anew?
or perhaps old reboot might trick :p

thankful insight.

hi,

> hyper-v not in state accept replication on replica server virtual machine 'servername'

when click enable replication virtual machine, pops enable replication wizard. there steps should configure in wizard, @ step did encounter such issue?

since have disabled replication before, replicated virtual machine still exist in replica serve; remove in replica server , enable replication.
