Windows Server 2008 support was EOL 7/12/2011 Windows Server 2008 sp2 is EOL 1/14/2020 So if you are up to date patch wise… (and we all hope you are) you can get support until 2020.

I was looking at the section How to perform an authoritative synchronization of DFSR-replicated SYSVOL (like "D4" for FRS) and Steps 4 and 10 confuse me. Those steps say to start the DFSR service but there are no previous instructions that say to stop the service. On one of the broken DCs, there is no DFSR service that shows in services.msc. Any advice on using that KB would be appreciated. Thanks Webster
