Hi all,
I recently deployed a clean install of a Windows Server 2003 DC but since we
were in the process of taking a server image for other builds of other DC's
in the forest, I mistakingly left the netbios name of the server as our
server guys had left it! Anyway, I only realize this mistake after running
dcpromo and once I realized the mistake I quickly changed the domain
controllers name to what it should be.
Now I'm having issues with group policy processing etc. Everything else is
good; DNS, replication etc.
I ran the ntfrsdiag and one of the logs gives me the following: when I try
to change the "fRSMemberReference" name in ADSIEDIT I get a "the name
reference is invalid" error. I earlier had removed the unwanted computer
name.
Does anyone have any ideas on how and which attributes to modify?
Thanks in advance.....

Checking for errors/warnings in ntfrsutl ds ...
ERROR: This server's "Member Ref" property for the SYSVOL volume does NOT
seem to be correct !!!
To fix this, use ADSIEdit and edit the "fRSMemberReference" Property of the
nTFRSSubscriber object named "CN=Domain System Volume (SYSVOL share)"
located under this Server's Computer Object.
This value should match the FQDN of this Server. Current Values are:
Current Value = "(null)"
Suggested Value = "CN=DC1,CN=Domain System Volume (SYSVOL share),CN=File
Replication Service,CN=System,DC=ad,,DC=com"
Please note there is a small chance the above Suggested Value may
not be correct - See below for more info on what the Proper Value should be!
