Re: Sysvol not replicating but no NTFRS errors




I have had the exact same problem.
My problem was solved by taking a good look at NTFS Junction links.
Take a good look at:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315457

Especially this section:
On each domain controller in the domain, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
Type net start ntfrs to start the File Replication service.
Type ntfrsutl ds |findstr /i "root stage", and then press ENTER. The
NTFRSUTIL command returns the current root directory for the SYSVOL
replica set that is referred to as the ?replica set root? and the
staging folder. For example, this command returns:
Root: C:\WINNT\SYSVOL\domain
Stage: C:\WINNT\SYSVOL\staging\domain
Type Linkd %systemroot%\SYSVOL\SYSVOL\ DNS Domain name, and then press
ENTER. The LINKD command returns the following:
Source DNS Domain Name is linked to %systemroot%\SYSVOL\domain
Type linkd "%systemroot%\SYSVOL\staging areas\DNS Domain Name", and
then press ENTER. This command returns the following:
Source DNS Domain Name is linked to %systemroot%\SYSVOL\Staging\domain
Note The path that is reported by the LINKD command varies depending on
the location of the SYSVOL\SYSVOL\DNS Domain Name folder. If the SYSVOL
folder is in the default location in the %systemroot%\SYSVOL folder, use
the commands that are listed. Otherwise, type the actual path of the
SYSVOL folders.

For example, if the NTFRSUTL and LINKD commands are run on a domain
controller in the contoso.com domain, and the SYSVOL folder is in the
C:\Windows\SYSVOL folder, the command syntax and results for the SYSVOL
and Staging folders will appear similar to the following:

C:\>ntfrsutl ds |findstr /i "root stage"
Root: C:\windows\sysvol\domain
Stage: C:\windows\sysvol\staging\domain

C:\>Linkd %systemroot%\SYSVOL\SYSVOL\Contoso.com
Source domain.com is linked to
C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\domain

C:\>linkd ?%systemroot%\SYSVOL\staging areas>\Contoso.com
Source domain.com is linked to
C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\staging\domain



To re-create the junction points if the LINKD command reports missing
or invalid junction points, follow these steps:
Type linkd C:\WINNT\SYSVOL\sysvol\DNS_Domain_Name Source, where Source
is the root path that is determined by using the NTFRSUTL command.
Type C:\linkd "C:\WINNT\SYSVOL\staging areas\DNS_Domain_Name " Source,
where Source is the stage path that is determined by using the NTFRSUTL
command.
