Re: SYSVOL Doesn't appear as shared in a Secondary Domain Controll

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



You are right but...

But it could work isn't it?

Any way i won't waste anything but time, if it does work it would be faster
than pass through all the diagnostic process, don't you think?

Thanks in advance

Run diagnostics against your Active Directory domain.

If you don't have the support tools installed, install them from your server
install disk.
d:\support\tools\setup.exe

Run dcdiag, netdiag and repadmin in verbose mode.
-> DCDIAG /V /C /D /E /s:yourdcname > c:\dcdiag.log
-> netdiag.exe /v > c:\netdiag.log (On each dc)
-> repadmin.exe /showrepl dc* /verbose /all /intersite > c:\repl.txt
-> ntfrsutl ds your_dc_name > c:\sysvol.log
-> dnslint /ad /s "ip address of your dc"

**Note: Using the /E switch in dcdiag will run diagnostics against ALL dc's
in the forest. If you have significant numbers of DC's this test could
generate significant detail and take a long time. You also want to take into
account slow links to dc's will also add to the testing time.

If you download a gui script I wrote it should be simple to set and run
(DCDiag and NetDiag). It also has the option to run individual tests without
having to learn all the switch options. The details will be output in
notepad text files that pop up automagically.

The script is located on my website at
http://www.pbbergs.com/windows/downloads.htm

Just select both dcdiag and netdiag make sure verbose is set. (Leave the
default settings for dcdiag as set when selected)

When complete search for fail, error and warning messages.

Hi

I have read a lot possible solutions for this issue but i'm wondering if
it
is not a better idea, since it's a secondary domain controller, simply
demote
this secondary domain controller and then promote it as domain controller
again so this shared can be recreated.

What do you think?

Thanks in advance
