The default domain policy sets security settings on the
sysvol directory on a given DC, however this triggers
staging files to grow excessivly as it alters ACL
information.
If you alter the Default Domain Policy not to replace any
security setting on the sysvol directory + subfolders
everything runs smootly and FRSDiag stops reporting errors.

1. Are these settings intended by Microsoft in this case
why ??
2. Why does the Default Domain Policy specify the path
c:\winnt\*** insted of %systemroot%??
