Looks like it worked.<br />
I stopped the NtFrs service, copied the files from the SYSVOL of my PDC and restarted the NtFrs on the faulty server and no error since then.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
For some reason, my domain controller decided to move files from its SYSVOL contents to a subdirectory named<br />
C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\domain\N<wbr />tFrs_PreEx<wbr />isting___S<wbr />ee_EventLo<wbr />g.<br />
<br />
As a result, I get many UserEnv errors in the event log because the group policy are missing.<br />
<br />
I've created a NTFRS_CMD_FILE_MOVE_ROOT at C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\domain\ then did<br />
<br />
net stop ntfrs<br />
net start ntfrs<br />
<br />
as per this webpage <a href="http://www.eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=13559&eventno=657&source=NtFrs&phase=1" rel="ugc">http://www.eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=13559&eventno=657&source=NtFrs&phase=1</a><br />
<br />
Unfortunately, the files aren't coming back.<br />
<br />
What should I do ?<br />
Is it safe to stop the NtFrs Service, copy them from the PDC and restart the service again ?<br />
<br />
Thanks,

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.

Windows Networking

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
