My apologies to Dennis Schut (Read NOT *Shutts*). I have a co-worker Deb Shutts, and apparently my fingers got ahead of my brain. But, that happens a bunch - regardless if it's here, a NG, or just in a document. :-)

Dennis Shutts tried to get the ADDiag scripts (if you haven't seen it - but I know you, you likely have) to her to run on her system. It's the same tools that PSS will have you run on your system to gather all of the information necessary to diagnose this type of issue. I suspect that there is a DNS problem as the SYSVOL share and the NETLOGON share will not be published until all conditions are correct. And, the primary indicator is that failure in the NETDIAG log that you pointed out. Cindy, leave the FRS issues alone for a bit until the DNS problems are resolved on all servers. It might be only one, or might be all of them. Check your DNS and SYSTEM event logs.

Your Dcdiag run had this error: test NetLogons Starting test: Advertising Warning: DsGetDcName returned information for \\psdc1.police.lancco.pa.us, when we were trying to reach ECPDC. Server is not responding or is not considered suitable. ......................... ECPDC failed DsGetDcName is failing. I'd look at the SRV records in DNS to see if that is 100%. Another area to check is the time on the DC to see if it's sync with it's partners.

There are a ton of fixes for FRS out there. Other than that I would be looking at DNS very carefully and also checking regular replication (repadmin /showreps) to make sure that was working as well. joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rittenhouse, Cindy Sent: Friday, August 29, 2003 10:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] sysvol not replicating Two days ago a consulting firm upgraded a BDC at a remote location to Windows 2000. After the upgrade users had all types of trouble connecting. It seems the sysvol is not replicating because the Do_Not_Remove_NtFrs_PreInstall_Directory, Policies directory, and Scripts directory do not exist on the remote server in either the sysvol\domain or the sysvol\sysvol directory. The rest of AD seems to be replicating fine. Can I simply copy those directories from one of my DCs to the DC in the remote location?
