Which object are you trying to modify the fRSMemberReference attribute on?
You need to modify that attribute on the nTFRSSubscriber object called
CN=Domain System Volume (SYSVOL) which is located in the CN=NTFRS
Subscriptions container underneath the computer object for the DC.
You do not need to modify this property on the nTFRSMember objects
underneath the nTFRSReplicaSet object which resides under the CN=File
Replication Service container under CN=System in the domain NC.
However, before modifying this attribute, check the name of the nTFRSMember
object (the great grandchild of System) as it might still have the old name
(which doesn't matter, it's only the cn).

Subject: [ActiveDir] fRSMemberReference - NTFRS
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!
