Hello, I have a 2003 DC1 and now I have installed a second DC2 2k8 R2 as backup. I have transfered all the roles from DC1 to DC2 but I have problems with FRS on DC1. The DC1 is getting the error 13568: The File Replication Service has detected that the replica set "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)" is in JRNL_WRAP_ERROR. Replica set name is : "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)" While on the new DC2 is getting the error 13508: The File Replication Service is having trouble enabling replication from DC1 to DC2 for c:\windows\sysvol\domain using the DNS name dc1mycompany.local. FRS will keep retrying. From dcdiag and repadmin I see that the AD replication is OK, the only thing is missing are 2 folders from C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\domain\Policies C:\Users\administrator.paris\Desktop>repadmin /showrepl Repadmin: running command /showrepl against full DC localhost Default-First-Site-Name\DC2 DSA Options: (none) Site Options: (none) DSA object GUID: 4f487399-a611-41c3-94d9-3175312863a9 DSA invocationID: 1c2812b5-2825-413d-9a40-d2a4df68a9ba ==== INBOUND NEIGHBORS ====================================== DC=paris,DC=mycompany,DC=local Default-First-Site-Name\DC1via RPC DSA object GUID: 37f0a9e2-1bb7-49ac-a2e4-e1fce666acab Last attempt @ 2011-12-06 16:23:48 was successful.

Sould Burflags with D4 work? After I complete the transition on DC2 I'm planning to replace DC1 with a new win2k8 R2 server Thank you

For sure, have you applied adprep function for DC1 and change the forest level appropriately before doing any other step? You should wait before the replication is finished before you transfer roles and the same is true for global catalogue. You had to test the replication and AD health before role transfer. For troubleshooting replication see the Technet article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727056.aspx Regards Milos

Hello, The DC1 is getting the error 13568: The File Replication Service has detected that the replica set "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)" is in JRNL_WRAP_ERROR. Replica set name is : "DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)" Please see that: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/292438 Also, refer to that to force replication: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290762 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Thank you for the replys @Milos Yes, I have applied adprep /forestprep and adprep /domainprep /gpprep on DC1 I haven't touched the DC's 2 days, the DC is very simple with less than 50 computers @Mr X If I do a nonauthoritative restore as I understand the DC1 will try to get the data from the DC2, so I will lose the data that I need to recover As I can see, just 2 folders are missing from C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\domain\Policies May I demote the DC1 and recreate the missing policy objects manually if needed?

Hello again, If I do a nonauthoritative restore as I understand the DC1 will try to get the data from the DC2, so I will lose the data that I need to recover That depends of how you set burflags. You can configure DC1 to get the copy of the SYSVOL folder from DC2 or configure DC1 to get the SYSVOL folder from DC1. If DC2 is a DNS / GC server then you can demote DC1 by proceeding like that: Run netdom query fsmo to check if DC1 is an FSMO holders and transfer all FSMO roles holded by this DC to DC2 Demote DC1 Promote it again and make it a DNS and GC server Just perform a system state backup of your servers before proceeding.
