While attempting to complete an Exchange 2003 install on a W2K3
Server (not a dc), we have discovered that we have some AD problems with our W2K
AD. It appears that 2 of our DC servers are missing the shared SYSVol and
Netlogon folders. I have read numerous KB articles, but have found not
solutions, as restoring is not a solution at this
point. After
looking at the actual Sysvol folder on these particular server, I noticed that
several of the files/folders that should be present are not.
I have tried all of the following:
-Demoting the server and the re-running dcpromo. This was
successfully run, but didn't help.
-Copying the contents of the sysvol folder from a "good" dc to the "bad"
dc. The files were there automatically deleted, by the OS (I am
assuming).
-Re-applying SP4 on the "bad" dc which is running W2K
Server.
-After running DCdiag, the only error that is reported is that the domain
membership test failed: [Warning] the system volume has not been completely
replicated to the local machine. This machine is not working properly as a
dc.
-I am also getting Event ID 13552 in the Event
Viewer.
"The file replication service is unable to add
this computer to the following replica set: "Domain system volume (sysvol
share)""
Any additional insight would be greatly
appreciated!
Thanks,
