    You can try a non-authoritative synchronization

    Another option is to try try an authoritative synchronization, or simply move roles off, demote, reboot, promo it again.

    Hi，

    Did the authoritative restore for the sysvol replication work for your situation?
    If you have any progress, welcome to share here!

    Best Regards,

    Stop DFSR Replication in services

    delete the folders on Sysvol ( Staging Areas, and Staging- subfolders) only

    If your Sysvol is in C:\windows\sysvol the windows folder run this below command in the Admin command prompt, not PS only mklink

    C:\>mklink /j "c:\windows\sysvol\Staging Areas\fabrikam.com" "c:\windows\sysvol\Staging\domain

    if your Sysvol is in C:\Sysvol run this below command in the Admin command prompt, not PS only mklink

    C:\>mklink /j "C:\sysvol\Staging Areas\fabrikam.com" "c:\sysvol\Staging\domain

    Start services back on and hope the issue should be fixed.
