You may additionally want to check the software running on the DC's in question if the files are copied and then deleted. Until replication I wouldn't expect the files to change on newly promoted dc.

The fact that your 2 DCs never got sysvol/netlogon means they never truly became DCs, this is something you should check every time you promote new DCs. It used to be a horrible pain back in early 2K days but is much better now. joe ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brenda Casey Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2005 1:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] Files missing from sysvol folder While attempting to complete an Exchange 2003 install on a W2K3 Server (not a dc), we have discovered that we have some AD problems with our W2K AD. It appears that 2 of our DC servers are missing the shared SYSVol and Netlogon folders. I have read numerous KB articles, but have found not solutions, as restoring is not a solution at this point. After looking at the actual Sysvol folder on these particular server, I noticed that several of the files/folders that should be present are not. I have tried all of the following: -Demoting the server and the re-running dcpromo. This was successfully run, but didn't help. -Copying the contents of the sysvol folder from a "good" dc to the "bad" dc. The files were there automatically deleted, by the OS (I am assuming). -Re-applying SP4 on the "bad" dc which is running W2K Server. -After running DCdiag, the only error that is reported is that the domain membership test failed: [Warning] the system volume has not been completely replicated to the local machine. This machine is not working properly as a dc. -I am also getting Event ID 13552 in the Event Viewer. "The file replication service is unable to add this computer to the following replica set: "Domain system volume (sysvol share)"" Any additional insight would be greatly appreciated!
