You may manually check whether SYSVOL is shared or you can inspect each domain controller by using the net view command:. Depending on a domain controller's condition, it may fail to report a state value and indicate no instance s available.
If any domain controllers don't report the SYSVOL Share replicated folder as being in a state 4 normal , check the event log of those domain controller s to evaluate their condition. Determine whether DFS Replication triggered content freshness protection on the affected domain controllers.
Content Freshness is enabled on Windows Server and later versions domain controllers by default. However, it may also be manually enabled on Windows Server R2 servers.
For each domain controller enabled for content freshness, evaluate if DFS Replication has logged an event ID that indicates replication of the folder has stopped because replication has failed for longer than the MaxOfflineTimeInDays parameter.
For any domain controllers running Windows Server R2, first install DFS Replication updates to prevent data loss and to fix known issues. It's a best practice to use the latest version of DFS Replication. Backups may be a file copy of the SYSVOL contents to a safe location or, it may be a backup that uses backup software.
Depending on the situation, policy files could be moved to PreExisting or Conflict and Deleted. PreExisting and Conflict and Deleted contents will be purged if initial synchronization is done multiple times on a server. Back up data in these locations to avoid data loss. Based on the number of domain controllers in the domain, select the appropriate method to recover the DFS Replication service. Determine whether a dirty shutdown was detected event ID on either domain controller.
The reason is, after promotion, it will log a event that indicates that DFS Replication is waiting to do initial replication. You don't have to configure the second domain controller as nonauthoritative, because it's already waiting to do initial synchronization.
Otherwise, any existing data present on first domain controller not present on the second will go into the PreExisting and Conflict and Deleted folders. Confirm that an event ID is logged to indicate the membership is disabled. Enable the first domain controller's membership, and wait for the and events that report completion of the initial synchronization. If necessary, restore any updated files from PreExisting to the original location. If the first domain controller is in the event ID state, and the second domain controller has never completed initialization after it was promoted, and content freshness hasn't been triggered.
My problem DC was a virtual non R2. My two other DCs 1- virtual R2 and 1 - virtual have always played together nicely. At some point the problem DC stopped replicating. I became aware of this after creating login scripts used to map user drives. On occasion, some users would complain that their drives were not there upon logging in.
Turns out that their workstation was authenticating against the problem DC. I wanted to fix the problem and not just manually copy the login scripts changes to GPOs were also not being replicated.
I tried everything I could. This time, replication worked! Just remember to give it at least minutes once the new DC is in place before testing replication for the 1st time. This is especially true if your domain is one of many within your organization. Otherwise, you may be lead to think that replication was not fixed.
