I have been having trouble for a while now with two DCs in the same sitenot
synchronizing the sys vol share. The two DCs in question are in our head
office site. DC1 holds all 5 roles (PDC, FSMO etc etc) DC2 is the one with
the problem.

There are NO errors being logged in FRS at all. I have run authoritative
restores and non authoritative restores, each time they seem to complete
because event ID 13516 is logged but still there is no replication. Active
Directory replicates changes almost immediately so there is full
connectivity. I have also made sure that the NTFRS change journal is set at
512MB.

Both servers are DNS servers and they point to themselves as the primary
server, they are also GC servers. ACL on thesysvolshare looks good as
well, it is the same on both servers. We have another 7 sites and thesysvol
share replicates fine between all of them, all the DCs in other sites
replicate with DC1.

Is there anything else i can check? i really need to fix this. thanks.



If both DCs are WIndows Server 2003 SP1 check for the existence of the
MS05-019 patch. This basically allows the MTUs of the DCs to be
different and this causes the servers to not be able to replicate.
Installing the Hotfix 898060 might help you.

I had a similar situation where active directory would replicate but
the sysvols would not. this hotfix got everything back to normal in no
time.
