This article is very useful to restore byt before you need to review some points:
1. time synchronization: because replication relies on this service, the domain controllers in domain must get sync from one source, and every Domain Controller in domain must be sync in time with source, review status of time service. This link can help you. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnw2kmag01/ html/TimeWin2K.asp 2. active directory health: replication on FRS relies on AD topology and replication, review your DNS to clean orphan SRV records, use dnslint to review your DNS operation. And for AD Replication use replmon (Replication Monitor located in support tools) dnslint: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;321046 3. Q315457 is very good info to troubleshoot this issue, but remember, you need to select only one source of FRS, stop all DC's FRS service and apply Q315457, (on selected DC apply D4 on others apply D2) then restart all DC's FRS service and monitor with sonar or ultrasound. 4. a lot of patience :) In my case these recommendations help me to troubleshoot an FRS issue over 200 dc's FRS and works fine. __________________________________ Gregorio Parra MCSE MCSA - Microsoft Swat Team Microsoft Colombia ( Tel:(+57)1-3264700 ) Cel:(+57)300 2646057 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Mensaje original----- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] En nombre de David Cliffe Enviado el: Miércoles, 01 de Febrero de 2006 05:39 p.m. Para: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Asunto: RE: [ActiveDir] NTFRS Problems I can tell you that I used this KB as my guide to restore the SYSVOL state on one of our domains about 4 months ago and it worked just fine. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315457/en-us If the journals on your DCs are inconsistent with each other, this may be the best way to correct it. Best advice is to ensure that there are no underlying replication issues first, otherwise you might just be wasting your time! -DaveC -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Adeel Ansari Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 5:10 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] NTFRS Problems Hello AD Experts, Recently, I noticed in-consistencies in Sysvol among my domain controllers and PDC while promoting a new replica DC in the domain and it stucked on sysvol after 145 out of 250 policies. To test further, I created a .txt file in the sysvol on PDC and it also didnt replicate to other DCs either. To make things even worse, the number of policies on PDC are not the same as in other DCs. After hours of troubleshooting and a phone call to M$, I was told by Microsoft to perform burflag authoritative (D4) restore on one Domain controller with good policy contents in Sysvol and non-authoritative (D2) restore on all the others. Having a luxury of a AD replica lab, I performed the operation in the lab environment but lost both the policies, scripts folders and now the servers dont even have Sysvols. I am not comfortable doing this operation in the production environment. Can anyone please share their experience with burflag restores? Any best practices? Is there another way that I can resolve this issue without perform burflag restore? Any ideas / suggestions are welcomed.
