SYSVOL and NETLOGON Not replicating.

Hi, I need to migrate to DFRS but have an issue. My PDC is 2008 r2. I noticed this issue promoting when I promoted a new DC. If I use the 2008 r2 server as a replication partner, SYSVOL and NETLOGON are not created and shared. If I use a different DC as replication partner I have no issues. Also, the contents of the SYSVOL and NETLOGON folders are no longer replicating to other DCs in the domain from this DC. I need to correct this so I can migrate to DFRS and replace the 2008 R2 DCs in the domain.

I'd start by trying a nonauthoritative restore

Thanks. I am assuming i do this on the Dc with the issue, not on all DCs?

I ran the nonauthorative restore about 18 minutes ago. I received event 13520 and a few others. The last event about 14 minutes ago was 13508, "the file replication service is having trouble enabling replication fron DC2 to DC1. The netlogon and sysvol shares have not been recreated yet. The files are still in "NtFrs_PreExisting___See_EventLog"

I'd check the required ports are flowing between networks

another much simpler option may be to move roles off, demote, reboot, dcpromo the problematic one.

That would be something I would have to plan for. How long does the nonauthorative restore usually take? How long should I wait to come to the conclusion that it won't finish?

Timing may depend somewhat on the network but I'd expect it to happen fairly quick. How long since last successful? If it has tombstoned then demote, reboot, dcpromo would be required.
