RE: [ActiveDir] Sysvol Damaged

Title: Message

I assume you have not disabled the KCC......

 

Delete the manual objects and then kick off the KCC and it should work out the best paths. This can be done via replmon or sites and services. Unless you have a large complex site structure then I would just use the KCC as it does a pretty good job and you shouldn't really have a need to or be creating manual links.

 

The other thing is to be patient. AD is a slow moving monster and left will typically sort out a majority of issues if left over time, i.e. a good few hours.

Roger, Yes, the box is pointing to a correct dc which is actually the PDC running very well and healthy SYSVOL structure. I have been waiting for more than a week for replication to happen but still the same, even the sysvol folder is not shared. I am attaching dcdiag log, I really dont know if i can attach dcdiag.txt. Appologies if thatz not allowed..

TIA,
Athif

Can you also run a dcdiag and see if it runs clean? If it doesn't then paste the results here.

Is the box pointing to a known good DNS server (preferably to DC's in a known good site)?
How long are you waiting for replication to happen? I generally like to let them spin overnight if at all possible before worrying about whether its working correctly.

Hi Folks,
I am having a problem with one of my Additonal Domain Controller, which is recently promoted. Actually,this is a newly promoted ADC via a wan link. I had to demote it first using dcpromo/forceremoval as it had problem and it was screwed.( http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=332199 ) Also, i had to delete netlogon.chg file in system root as it was corrupted and then after the reboot the system created the file succesfully..

I later used ADSIEDIT to clear the metabase succesfully. Now in this DC is fresly promoted as a new Additonal Domain controller againt thru the WAN Link, Now, I cant see anything id domain.com in sysvol and itz not shared too. Also, i had to delete netlogon.chg file in system root as it was corrupted and then after the reboot the system created the file succesfully..

How do rebuild the sysvol strucuture, Do I need to use "D2" "D4" Burflags.. I am afraid because I have more that 5 ADC in this site and 2-3 are connected via WAN Link. Or shuld I manually copy the sysvol structure from the GOOD SYSVOL STRUCUTE on another DC and try to restart NTFRS, like, I am really running out of ideas.

Can any one help me on this issue.
