I'm in the process of migrating Server 2012 R2 to Server 2019 and SYSVOL and NETLOGON folders are missing on S2019 after it was promoted to a domain controller. I'm having an issue following this guide:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/troubleshoot/windows-server/group-policy/force-authoritative-non-authoritative-synchronization
Which section should I be following (I think it is the second option, but I want to be sure):
How to perform a non-authoritative synchronization of DFSR-replicated sysvol replication (like D2 for FRS) How to perform an authoritative synchronization of DFSR-replicated sysvol replication (like D4 for FRS)
Pls, check the DFSR event logs on both servers before you do a restore. Can you post any errors? If you do restore you must do the authoritative restore on the server that has a SYSVOL and the non-authoritative on the server that does not have a SYSVOL. But the problem can also be caused by something else so pls post logs
Sorry, but I don't see a button to attach the log files. Some of the Event ID errors in the DFSR logs on Server 2019 are: 4612, 5002. On Server 2012 R2 the Event IDs are: 4012
If still necessary, let me know how to post the logs.
Thank you.
Based on your reply, I was able to follow the process in the article and now the NETLOGON and SYSVOL shares appear on Server 2019.
Thanks!
