Question : Problems Replicating SYSVOL and NETLOGON on new DC WS 2008 R2 Standard in 2003 AD

Hallo,

I have added a new DC (Server 2008 R2 Standard) in a SERVER 2003 Domain. The replication of the DC is incomplete as the network shares SYSVOL and NETLOGON are empty on the new server and are also not shared. It is possible though to access user accounts.
The domain was before adding the new DC upgraded to 2003 and tree and domain prepared with adprep.
I think the servers can communicate with each other and DNS works (ping server1.domain.local from server 2 and respectively ping server2.domain.local from server 1 works).

Any ideas how to debug the configuration and solve the problem?

Run dcdiag post results.

Best way to fix is to run the burflag since you still have a functioning 2003 server.

Take backup of the policies and script folders from both the servers from c:\Windows\Sysvol\domain
Stopped NTFRS service on both DCs.
On 2003 server go to this registry key to make this server authoritive:
 HKLM\System\CCS\Services\NTFRS\Parameters\CumlativeReplicaSets and Set the Burflags value to D4. This should be done with server which has the Updated information available or correct data.

Went to other DC and made that Non-authoritative by navigating to same registry location HKLM\System\CCS\Services\NTFRS\Parameters\CumlativeReplicaSets and Set the Burflags value to D2.
