I have a small network with twenty WorkStations and two domain controllers
The domain has been set up since NT sp3 and the domain controllers have been
upgraded a few times in that period.
Now niether domain has a sysvol share
in the FRS event log it says there are three
1.File Replication Service is scanning the data in the system volume.
Computer OCTO cannot become a domain controller until this process is
complete. The system volume will then be shared as SYSVOL.
To check for the SYSVOL share, at the command prompt, type:
net share
When File Replication Service completes the scanning process, the SYSVOL
share will appear.
The initialization of the system volume can take some time. The time is
dependent on the amount of data in the system volume.
2.warning the domain controller is having trouble replicating from it's
partner
3.Following is the summary of warnings and errors encountered by File
Replication Service while polling the Domain Controller octo.coffs.com.au
for FRS replica set configuration information.
The nTFRSSubscriber object cn=domain system volume (sysvol share),cn=ntfrs
subscriptions,cn=octo,ou=domain controllers,dc=coffs,dc=com,dc=au has a
invalid value for the attribute frsMemberReference.
if you look at the other DC it has the same errors
The servers are amd2000 3 x 80 gig HDD 1000meg ram
and Compaq P2 500mhz two 36 gig SCSI drives 500 meg RAM
When I do an ipconfig /all

and
LDAP test. . . . . . . . . . . . . : Failed
Cannot find DC to run LDAP tests on. The error occurred was: The
specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.
If you try to open active dir Users and Computers it fails because it can't
find the domain but if you tell it to connect to a domain controller first
all domain info is there. Also netdiag is looking for COFFS but the domain
is coffs.com.au, COFFS was the Mixed-mode name
I have restored my earliest backup but the error is still there
