April 17, 2013 By Damitha Anuradha 1 Comment

How to force an authoritative (D4) and non-authoritative (D2) synchronization

How to rebuild/recreate Active Directory SYSVOL and NETLOGON share… After domain controller migration from old to new you may face this problem..

Before you begin, keep a backup of SYSVOL & NETLOGON on working DC. Make sure to check the time settings between domain controllers.

Log on to working Domain Controller and Stop the File Replication Service.

Then open Registry editor (Regedit) and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters\Backup/Restore\Process at Startup path and modify BurFlags attribute value to D4

And Start File Replication Service

Wait for File Replication event ID 13516

“The File Replication Service is no longer preventing the comptuer DCNAME from becoming a domain controller. The system volume has been successfully initialized and the Netlogon service has been notified that the system volume is now ready to be shared as SYSVOL.”

Now log in to problematic domain controller and stop the File Replication Service.

Go to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters\Backup/Restore\Process at Startup” path and modify BurFlags attribute and change the value to D2

Start File Replication Service

And wait for File Replication event ID 13516

“The File Replication Service is no longer preventing the comptuer DCNAME from becoming a domain controller. The system volume has been successfully initialized and the Netlogon service has been notified that the system volume is now ready to be shared as SYSVOL.”

Check the shared NETLOGON and SYSVOL and it contents.
